Appeal No. 2003-1967
Application No. 08/970,889
1, lines 11-13. Also, we fail to find that Shibata teaches this
limitation. Shibata is concerned with a component-based scene
description model for computerizing linguistic descriptions
written by the director and a method for extracting a content-
based hierarchical structure for video sequences based on this
model. See Shibata, page 330. However, Neither Yeo nor Shibata
teach combining or mosaicing layers from a plurality of image
frames within a scene to form a combined or mosaiced background
layer as recited in Appellants' claims.
Claims 4-8 and 24-26 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Adelson in view of Yeo, Shibata and
Jaillon. Claims 9 and 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Adelson in view of Yeo, Shibata and
Barber. Claims 13 and 14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Adelson in view of Yeo, Shibata and
Zhang. Claims 25 and 26 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Adelson in view of Yeo, Shibata and
Jaillon. We note that these claims are dependent claims on
either independent claim 1 or independent claim 21. Furthermore,
we note that the Examiner has relied on the combination of
Adelson, Yeo and Shibata for teaching the above limitations.
