in a memory, (2)(a) undersampling (b) the input image
information, (3)(a) generating spatially interpolated image
information (b) in response to the undersampled image
information, and (4)(a) generating temporally interpolated image
information (b) in response to the spatially interpolated image
information.
Appellant directs us, for example, to image memory 111(c)
(which is part of the geometric module 110A) of Figure 1C, image
memory 120D of Figure 1H, or image memory 131D of Figure 1J for
the claimed memory. Therefore, we find support for the image
memory of claim 105 and the step of storing in the image memory
of claim 190.
The undersampling circuit and corresponding process step,
according to appellant, is also part of the geometric module
110A. The portions of the specification referenced by appellant
explain that spatial compression and decompression can be
performed by undersampling an input array in the input memory.
Therefore, the step of undersampling the input image information
of claim 190 and the coupling to the image memory of claim 105
appears to be supported by the disclosure. No undersampling
circuit is shown in any of the drawings nor do any of the
referenced portions of the disclosure clearly indicate what
elements correspond to the undersampling circuit. Nonetheless,
