Abstract
A Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) algorithm capable of discriminating among various disc types including double-layer DVD, single-layer DVD, CD-ROM/CD-Audio, CD-R, and CD-RW is used to identify disc type in an optical drive. This FIS optical disc determination algorithm relies on the physical properties of the reflecting layer of an optical disc, using a DVD and CD photo diode outputs, to discriminate among several disc types. Focus error and quad sum data from both DVD and CD lasers is provided as eight inputs to a nineteen rule Sugeno FIS which outputs a value corresponding to drive type.
