Application 08/278,363
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the final rejec-
tion of claims 1 through 7, all of the claims pending in the
application.
The invention relates to a signal correction circuit
for correcting deviating pixel values. On page 3 of the
specification, Appellant discloses that if a pixel value for a
given color differs substantially from the pixel value of a
neighboring pixel, and if this difference is not present in
the other color channels, the pixel will be considered to be
deviating and its value will be replaced by a value derived
from the pixel values of neighboring pixels.
Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A signal correction circuit for correcting
deviating pixel values, comprising:
means for receiving pixel color values for more than
one color;
filtering means for obtaining a plurality of second
pixel color values from respectively corresponding pixel color
