`“forming at least one histogram of the pixels in the one or more of a
`plurality of classes in the one or more of a plurality of domains, said at
`least one histogram referring to classes defining said target”
`•PO originallyinterpreted “one or more” as “two or more”:
`“forming at least one histogram of the pixels in two or more
`classes that are in two or more domains” PO Prel. Resp. at 15
`•Rejected by the Board in Institution Decision:
`•Board found PO construction would render “one or more” superfluous

`of possible classes and at least onedomain from among a plurality of

`Claim 1[a]
`
`PO’s Construction Is Narrower Than District Court Construction
`“forming at least one histogram of the pixels in the one or more of a
`plurality of classes in the one or more of a plurality of domains, said at
`least one histogram referring to classes defining said target”
`•PO now proposes a further narrow construction, interpreting
`“referring to”as “made up only of”PO Resp. at 5

`define said target” PO Resp. at 5

`“forming at least one histogram of the pixels in the one or more of a
`plurality of classes in the one or more of a plurality of domains, said at
`least one histogram referring to classes defining said target”
`•PO now proposes a further narrow construction, interpreting
`“referring to”as “made up only of”PO Resp. at 5
`•Board applied a broader interpretation:
`“Specifically, claim 1, which uses the open-ended transition
`‘comprising,’ recites that the target comprises pixels in one or
`more of a plurality of classes and that the histogram is formed from
`those pixels, but it does not preclude the histogram from also
`including other pixels outside the target.” Institution Decision at 19-20

`Claim 1[a]
`
`PO’s Incorrect Construction Is Inconsistent With The Plain Meaning
`“forming at least one histogram of the pixels in the one or more of a
`plurality of classes in the one or more of a plurality of domains, said at
`least one histogram referring to classes defining said target”
`•PO’s construction interpreting “referring to”as “made up only of”
`is incorrect PO Resp. at 5
`“Referring to” classes does not require excluding
`pixels in any class that does not define the target.

`Patent Owner’s Expert Disagrees With Patent Owner
`“forming at least one histogram of the pixels in the one or more of a
`plurality of classes in the one or more of a plurality of domains, said at
`least one histogram referring to classes defining said target”
`PO argues Figure 17 supports
`But PO’s expert insists that
`its construction PO Resp. at 10
`Figure 17 does notshow claim 1:
`’134 Patent, Fig. 17
`Q.
`Do you --do you see the line Ybin Figure 17?
`A.
`I do.
`…
`Q.
`So the line Yb, though, is on the --it bounds the maximum
`X axis value of the face; right?
`A.
`… And again, as I said earlier, it is my belief that this

`PO does not formally propose a construction
`•Instead argues that “forming the histogram” must “exclude actions
`taken after creating the histogram.” PO Resp. at 13; Reply at 9
`Rejected by the Board in Institution Decision :
`“claim 1 does not precludecreating a histogram, and then

`PO argues determination must be
`made without taking any additional
`’134 Patent, Fig. 17
`actions after creating the histogram
`But patent describes
`•histograms are formed,
`• thenpeaks are used to calculate
`X/Y minima/maxima of the target

`“The process according to claim 1, wherein forming the at least one
`histogram further comprises successively increasing the size of a selected
`area until the boundary of the target is found.
`“Forming” the histogram
`cannot exclude subsequent
`steps, or claim 4 would not

`Claim 1[c]
`
`Gilbert Discloses 1[c] Under PO’s Construction
`“wherein forming the at least one histogram further comprises
`determining X minima and maxima and Y minima and maxima of
`boundaries of the target.”
`Even under PO’s proposed construction,
`Ex. 1005 (Gilbert)
`Gilbert discloses element 1[c]
`•X/Y min/max are immediately known from the
`Gilbert projection histograms - e.g., “nose” and
`“tail” points
`•Thus, forming the histogram also determines the
`X/Y min/max
`PO’s expert argues using nose and tail points as
`X/Y min/max is subject to noise
`•But claim 1 recites no requirement of noise immunity

`“the projection histograms are formed and then used to determine aspects of
`the target” PO Resp. at 31

`Claim 1[c]
`
`Hashima Discloses 1[c] Under PO’s Construction
`“wherein forming the at least one histogram further comprises
`determining X minima and maxima and Y minima and maxima of
`boundaries of the target.”
`Even under PO’s proposed construction, Hashima
`Ex. 1006 (Hashima)
`discloses element 1[c]
`•X and Y min and max are immediately known from the
`projection histograms as points Xb1, Xb2, Yb1, and Yb2
`•Thus, forming the histogram also determines the X and
`Y min and max
`•Hashima also expressly uses X/Y min/max points to
`calculate the center point (mx, my) of the target:
`mx=(Xb1 +Xb2)/2
`my=(Yb1+Yb2)/2

`

`A POSAWould Have Combined Gilbert and Hashima
`It would have been obvious to combine Gilbert and Hashima:
`•Both use image processing to identify and track a target
`Petition at 34
`•Both employ a camera that keeps target in field of view and recognize
`importance of finding the center
`Petition at 34-35
`•Both analyze brightness levels to distinguish target from background
`•Both form projection histograms of pixels meeting brightness
`Petition at 35-36
`classification criteria for target identification
`Petition at 36-37
`•Hashima proposes a simpler tracking method based on target end
`points (X/Y max/min) that could benefit Gilbert

`

`A POSAWould Have Combined Gilbert and Hashima
`•Contrary to PO’s argument, both rely on assumptions about
`target structure to track image Reply at 25
`•Gilbert: elongated missile shape and target, background, and plume
`brightness
`•Hashima: fiducial target shape and coloring
`•Contrary to PO’s argument, Hashima is not restricted to tracking a
`slow-moving target:

`A POSAWould Have Combined Ueno and Gilbert
`It would have been obvious to combine Ueno and Gilbert:
`•Both describe image processing systems that use
`the digital output of a video camera system to identify and track
`a target on a frame-by-frame basis
`Petition at 60-61
`•Both form histograms of pixel brightness in order to
`identify target
`Petition at 61-62
`•While Gilbert forms three tracking windows to track target,
`background, and plume, it would benefit from Ueno’s simple
`tracking box surrounding only the target, which is less distracting
