Retinal motion estimation in adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.

We apply a novel computational technique known as the map-seeking circuit algorithm to estimate the motion of the retina of eye from a sequence of frames of data from a scanning laser ophthalmoscope. We also present a scheme to dewarp and co-add frames of retinal image data, given the estimated motion. The motion estimation and dewarping techniques are applied to data collected from an adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.
