Appeal No. 1996-4030
Application 08/104,462
alignment transformation existing which maps the four points
of three space to the four
points of the image plane has a mathematical probability of
zero. Appellant further argues that Horaud expressly states
that their problem presumes a given set of object points and
their corresponding image points and intrinsic camera
parameters, and seeks to find transformations between camera
and object frames. Appellant points out that Horaud takes as
a given the existence of a transformation matching the object
points and the image points. Appellant argues that there
would be no suggestion to extend Huttenlocher to a set of four
model points and four image points that do not match for which
no transformation need exist.
Turning to claim 1, we note on page 3 of the
Examiner's answer that the Examiner shows a one-to-one
correspondence of how Huttenlocher teaches the method as
recited in claim 1 for each of the method steps. We further
note that the Appellant does not contradict the Examiner's
findings that Huttenlocher teaches these method steps. The
