We present a new map-making method for CMB measurements. The method is based on the destriping technique, but it also utilizes information about the noise spectrum. The low-frequency component of the instrument noise stream is modelled as a superposition of a set of simple base functions, whose amplitudes are determined by means of maximum-likelihood analysis, involving the covariance matrix of the amplitudes. We present simulation results with $1/f$ noise and show a reduction in the residual noise with respect to ordinary destriping. This study is related to Planck LFI activities.
