Appeal No. 1997-3269
Application 07/918,519
Examiner identifies that “Chung teaches details operation of
representing image signal with additional quantization levels
of signal resolution.”
Appellants argue on page 2 of the reply brief that Jones
does not teach reconstructing an image using more than one
non-dependent image representation. Appellants assert that
Jones’ system uses only a single non-dependent image
representation. On page 3 of the reply brief, Appellants
point out that in Jones’ embodiment of figure 14, the image
representation LL is a non-dependent image representation, but
that “[a]ll of the image representations that include an ‘H’
are dependent image representations.” Appellants state that
the image representations with an “H” are high frequency
components of the image and therefore are dependent images.
Appellants further support this assertion on page 3 of the
reply brief, by making reference to an article Jones co-
authored which identifies that the subband images are not
displayable, and that to make them viewable they need to be
scaled and biased.
We find that Jones does not teach reconstructing an image
by combining two “non-dependent image representations,” as
