A review of Parulski confirms that the reference relates to
improved reproduction of hard copy images captured by an
electronic camera (col. 1, lines 18-24). Parulski further
describes color image sensing and signal processing performed by
a camera (col. 4, lines 14-35) by providing the captured image to
a color processing unit (col. 4, lines 36-51) which converts the
electronic image into appropriate signals for producing a color
print (col. 4, lines 56-58). Therefore, Parulski merely adjusts
the electronic color image captured by only one camera for
producing image signals to be sent to a printer.
Griesshaber, on the other hand relates to pattern recognition
for performing automatic or manual error measurements of a
television camera during its setup mode (col. 3, lines 17-21).
As depicted in Figure 2, Griesshaber uses an external or internal
test pattern 151 which is viewed by a number of cameras 152 (col.
3, lines 50-55) and is compared with an electronic test pattern
generated by test pattern generator 170 for error correction
(col. 4, lines 4-10). Griesshaber, in fact, compares the images
obtained by each camera with the electronic test pattern and not
with the image signal generated by any one of the cameras.
Based on our findings above, we agree with Appellant’s
argument (reply brief, page 5) that even if Parulski’s camera may
