          Appeal No. 1996-2822                                                        
          Application 08/153,916                                                      








                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                    This is a decision on appeal from the final rejec-                
          tion of claims 1 through 23, all of the claims pending in the               
          present application.                                                        
                    The invention relates to the detection of image                   
          movement vectors representing movements of objects within                   
          images represented by image signals.  On page 2 of the speci-               
          fication, Appellant discloses that the problem of image move-               
          ment vector detection is the presence of vibration components.              
          In other words, apparent object movement within an image can                
          actually be caused by camera vibration and the apparent move-               
          ment can be mistaken in the detection process for actual                    
          movement of the object.  This results in erroneous image                    
          movement vectors that are produced as a result of image vibra-              
          tion.                                                                       
                    Appellant discloses on page 5 of the specification                
          that Figure 1 is a block diagram of a video camera in accor-
