          Appeal No. 2002-1427                                                          
          Application No. 08/667,459                                                    

          The Examiner supports a conclusion of obviousness by further                  
          stating that the already stored coefficients are matched with the             
          coefficients of the camera for processing color images without                
          constantly obtaining red, green and blue values (answer, page 5).             
               Appellant argues that Parulski computes a modified value for             
          each red, green and blue signals based on the values measured by              
          the same camera and not on primary values from any other device               
          (brief, page 6).  Additionally, Appellant asserts that although a             
          plurality of cameras is adjusted in Griesshaber, operating mode               
          values are generated based on a comparison of each camera’s                   
          generated image and that of an electronic test pattern generator,             
          not based on comparing with the signal levels of a reference                  
          camera (brief, pages 7 and 8).  Appellant further points out that             
          “in other words, none of Griesshaber’s cameras serves as a                    
          reference, but rather, the electronically generated test pattern              
          serves as the reference” (brief, page 8).                                     
               In response, the Examiner argues that the single camera in               
          Parulski is the reference camera for obtaining color matching                 
          values which are obtained prior to operation of the camera                    
          (answer, page 7).  Furthermore, the Examiner makes the assumption             
          that the single camera referred to in Parulski for detecting the              



                                           4
