          Appeal No. 2003-1550                                                        
          Application No. 09/365,209                                                  

          subframes 11, each subframe 11 representing a different component           
          of the image frame for display at different respective times                
          within a frame period; that it estimates a motion of an image               
          portion represented in the frames of image data input (35-47);              
          that it motion compensates the image portion based on the                   
          estimated motion, with respect to a respective time instance of             
          display of at least one of the subframes, thereby reducing                  
          display artifacts (1-34), and wherein each respective subframe              
          corresponds to a different color plane (UV), of a respective                
          frame, for display in a color-sequential manner at different                
          times within the frame period.  The subframe of the motion                  
          compensated image portion is translated into a corrected subframe           
          having modified pixel values by bilinear interpolation, defining            
          a portion boundary at a closest color pixel plane (Figure 11).              
               For their part, appellants argue that while Gillard teaches            
          motion compensated interpolation of digital television images by            
          a combination of motion compensation and interpolation of                   
          successive image frames (with the motion compensation being                 
          carried out in order to eliminate image artifacts such as                   
          multiple imaging, judder and blurring, and carried out on                   
          successive frames of video information), appellants are concerned           
          with color artifacts caused by the depiction of motion in a color           

                                         -4-
