          Appeal No. 96-0649                                                          
          Application 08/191,234                                                      



               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the              
          examiner, reference is made to the brief and the answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.                                             


                                       OPINION                                        
               For all the reasons expressed by the examiner in the                   
          answer, and for the additional reasons presented here, we will              
          sustain the prior art rejection of claims 1, 7 and 18 under 35              
          U.S.C.                                                                      
          § 103.  Inasmuch as we are in agreement with the well-reasoned              
          positions and legal-factual analysis of the teachings of the                
          references done by the examiner, we will not for the sake of                
          brevity repeat that which has clearly been set forth in the                 
          answer.  To round-out the examiner’s detailed analysis of the               
          claimed invention and appellant’s arguments, we add the                     
          following.                                                                  
               Beginning in the background invention discussion of Gove               
          at column 1, lines 49 through 58, camera motion was a known                 
          factor in determining scene changes in a sequence of images.                
          Indeed, this portion of Gove introduces the concept that at
