Appeal No. 1998-0745
Application 08/216,842
would have been obvious over Verdooner. Verdooner moves images
relative to each other utilizing correlated landmarks or reference
points on the images in order to ensure that corresponding
features were being compared in the images, but there is no
evidence that the specific processing (image movement for
alignment of images) claimed by appellant utilizing a correlation
table was known in the prior art.
Whereas we will not sustain the rejection of claim 8, the
sole independent claim, as obvious over Verdooner, we will not
sustain the rejection of dependent claims 9, 10 and 12 as obvious
over Verdooner
or the rejection of claims 13 and 14 as obvious over Verdooner in
view of Mayer.
