Appeal No. 95-1217
Application 08/039,674
plurality of processing series that can, in the language of
claim 12, "independently processing the video image such that
each of said processing series can independently determine if
a mine is present in the image." We reverse the rejection of
these claims because the neural networks in Fukumizu are not
capable of independently processing an image to determine if a
mine is present in the image. In Fukumizu, each of the neural
networks
determines whether the input vector belongs to a certain
identification class, each class being a known pattern that
the system is looking to identify. See col. 3, lines 33-35,
47-49,
62-65. The neural networks do not operate independently to
identify the object, but rather the "neural networks operate
in parallel and as a whole configure a single neural network
system." See col. 3, lines 49-51.
