               Application 08/170,651                                                                                               


                   in dependence upon a class of image feature, e.g., edge orientation of a primitive.  Therefore,                  

                   we will not sustain the rejection of claims 1, 3 through 10, 13 and 16 through 18 under 35                       

                   U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over the admitted prior art and Vreeswijk.                                    

                           We have not sustained the rejection of claims 1, 3 through 10, 13 and 16 through 18                      

                   under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, the Examiner's decision is reversed.
