The paper describes restitution of geometrical distortions and improvement of signal-to-noise ratio of auto-fluorescence retinal images, finally aimed at segmentation and area estimation of the lipofuscin spots as one of the features to be included in glaucoma diagnosis. The main problems - geometrical and illumination incompatibility of frames in the image sequence and a non-negligible 'shear' distortion in the individual frames - have been solved by the presented registration procedure. The concept and some details of the MI-based regularized registration, together with evaluation of test results form the core of the contribution.
