          Application No. 08/139,456                                                  


          the examiner omits an explanation of how the combination of                 
          Admission in view of Deacon further in view of Sanders teaches              
          or would have suggested each of the detailed steps as claimed.              
          In particular, he has failed to show how the combination                    
          teaches or would have suggested determining the values Y ",                 
                                                                  m                   
          U ", and V " by minimizing an error value E over all values Y",m     m                                                                    
          U", and V", to determine a minimum error E , where E is                     
                                                    m                                 
          substantially equal to LA + MB + NC, where L, M, and N are                  
          weighting factors, A is the absolute value of Y" -Y', B is the              
          absolute value of U" - U', C is the absolute value of V" - V',              
          E  = LA  + MB  + NC , where A  is the absolute value of Y " - Y',m    m     m     m        m                         m                    
          B  is the absolute value of U " - U', and C  is the absolutem                         m          m                                   
          value of V " - V' as claimed.                                               
                    m                                                                 


               For the foregoing reasons, the examiner failed to show                 
          that the references teach or would have suggested the method                
          for generating a mapping look-up table of claim 22 and its                  
          dependent claims 23-25.  Therefore, we find that the                        
          examiner’s rejection does not amount to a prima facie case of               
          obviousness.  Because the examiner has not established a prima              
          facie case, the rejections of claims 22-25 over Admission in
