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



                    Kondo does disclose that it is known in the prior                 
          art apparatuses for correcting vibration of a video camera,                 
          detecting panning of a video camera, or detecting and tracing               
          the movement of specific images in a video camera.  However,                
          Kondo does not disclose that it is known in the prior art                   
          apparatus that determines image movement vectors representing               
          the movement of an object within an image comprising a                      
          vibration vector detection means and an image movement vector               
          detection means for detecting image movement vectors                        
          representing movement of the object within an image                         
          represented by the image signal based upon both the image                   
          signal and the vibration vector.                                            
                    In the supplemental answer, the Examiner wishes to                
          point us to another reference, Hanna, as evidence that it is                




          known in the prior art to detect image movement vectors                     
          representing the movement of an object within an image.                     
          However, we only have the rejection of these claims based upon              
          the single reference Kondo before us.  Our reviewing court has              

                                          11
