Appeal No. 95-4390
Application08/066,273
This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134
from the examiner's rejection of claims 7-12, which constitute
all the claims remaining in the application.
The disclosed invention pertains to a method and
apparatus for modifying electronic image data. Specifically,
original image data is displayed to an operator. The operator
enters information defining an optical axis, a projection
point, a density contour shape and a density gradient profile.
A processing means responds to this data to replace the
original image by an enhanced image.
Representative claim 7 is reproduced as follows:
7. An apparatus for modifying electronic image data
comprising:
scanning means for generating original image data
representative of an original image;
display means for receiving the original image data
and displaying the original image;
data entry means for identifying a portion of the
original image displayed on the display means to be modified,
and for defining an optical axis, a projection point, a
density contour shape and a density gradient profile within
the identified portion of the original image;
processing means for calculating modified image data
for the identified portion based on the defined optical axis,
projection point, density contour shape and density gradient,
and for replacing a portion of the original image data
