          Appeal No. 95-0792                                                          
          Application No. 07/828,092                                                  


          plurality of image elements by partitioning the image into                  
          overlapping multi-dimensional regions, applying a weighting                 
          function to the image elements within each region and                       
          determining a characteristic output of each region.  In                     
          addition, we find that claims 15 through 21 recite a machine                
          for processing a digital image pixel data using the above                   
          process.  Therefore, we find statutory subject matter.                      
               Claims 1 through 4, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 22 through               
          24 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being anticipated                
          by
