          Appeal No. 2003-1545                                                        
          Application 09/292,499                                                      


          point in the first region into a corresponding point in the                 
          second region.                                                              
               Thus, while the combination of Irani and Wixson may                    
          recognize the need for warp transformation parameters, the                  
          combination fails to teach how such warp transformation                     
          parameters are defined, whereas, in the instant claimed                     
          invention, the definition of the warp transformation parameters             
          comes from the operator identified first and second regions.                
          While Irani may teach an alignment of video frames and that                 
          information is necessary for such alignment, Irani does not                 
          suggest that operator identified corresponding regions are used             
          in the alignment.  Accordingly, the combination of Irani and                
          Wixson does not suggest the instant claimed subject matter.                 
               We also do not find the reference to Gu helpful, with regard           
          to claims 17-23, in supplying the deficiencies of the primary               
          references.                                                                 










                                         -8-
