A novel automated approach of the multi-Area-based and feature-based approaches are widely modality retinal image registration and fusion has been employed for medical image registration and fusion. developed. The new algorithm, which is reliable, robust, Mutual Information (MI) is the traditional fusion accuracy and time-efficient, has an automatic adaptation from measurement in the area-based technique [1] . This study frame to frame with few tunable threshold parameters. borrowed Mutual
