`
`’518 Patent, Claim 39
`
`[pre] A process of detecting a feature of an eye,
`
`the
`
`[d] selecting pixels of the portion of the image having
`
`process comprising the steps of:
`
`characteristics
`
`corresponding to the
`
`feature
`
`to be
`
`[a] acquiring an image of the face of the person, the
`
`detected;
`
`image comprising pixels corresponding to the feature to
`
`[e] forming at least one histogram of the selected pixels;
`
`be detected;
`
`and
`
`[b] identifying a characteristic of the face other than the
`
`feature to be detected;
`
`identifying a portion of the image of the face
`
`comprising the
`
`feature
`
`to be
`
`detected using an
`
`anthropomorphic model based on the location of the
`
`identified facial characteristic;
`
`[t] analyzing the at
`
`least one histogram over time to
`
`identify characteristics of the feature to be detected;
`
`[g] said feature being the iris, pupil or cornea.

`
`“anthropomorphic model”
`
`“characteristic of the face” / “facial 
`characteristic”
`
`“Selecting pixels of the portion of the

`the feature to be detected

`
`

`

`Interpretation of “Histogram”
`
`Samsung and Dr. Hart’s interpret “histogram” unreasonably.
`
`• A plot of intensity values for a line of pixels (as in Eriksson, 
`Stringa) is not a histogram.
`
`• Dr. Hart resorts to characterizing intensity values as a 
`“frequency of photons” to read a plot of intensity values 
`as a histogram.
`
`Paper 15 (PO Resp.) at 28–34.

`
`

`

`Dr. Hart’s Interpretation of “Histogram”
`
`Q.  Does the plot of image intensities along the 
`line going through the pupil from left to right of 
`Eriksson, does that count anything?
`A.  Yes.
`Q.  What does it count? 
`A.   Anytime that you're looking at luminance – for 
`example, when you're using a luminance 
`histogram, an intensity histogram, you're looking 
`at a region of the image.  Intensity is basically a 
`count of . . . Numbers of photons, so in this case 
`you've got a histogram of the number of photons 
`coming off of the eye in a single line.  And this is a ‐
`‐ this is a histogram of those photons.

`
`

`

`Dr. Hart’s Interpretation of “Histogram”
`
`Q.    Does the curve generated by plotting the 
`image intensity across the line going through 
`the pupil from left to right of Eriksson show 
`the frequency of occurrence of anything?
`A.    Yes.  It shows the frequency of occurrence 
`of photons.
`Q.    And how does it show the frequency of 
`occurrence of photons?
`A.    The intensity value is the number of 
`photons that would be emitted or received or 
`detected in a given amount of time.

`
`

`

`Dr. Hart’s Interpretation of “Histogram”
`
`Q.    If you look at the very ‐‐ let's look at Figure 5 
`[of Eriksson].  The very left‐hand bar on the left‐
`hand side, are you with me on that?
`A.  Yes.  I see the left‐hand bar.
`Q.  What does that bar represent?
`A.   I believe that bar represents the intensity of a 
`left most pixel in that line.
`Q.   Do the bars on the graph of Figure 5 show how 
`many pixels on the line going through the pupil 
`have a certain intensity value?
`A.   Yes.  I believe each of these bars indicates the 
`intensity value of a pixel on that line going through 
`the pupil.  They also indicate the frequency of 
`photons or other radiometric energy, radiometric 
`power specifically, from that line going through the 
`eye.

`

`Eriksson: No Histogram
`
`Eriksson uses “match 
`values” to determine 
`whether the eye is open or 
`closed, not Figure 5.
`
`Ex. 1005 at 9
`
`Q So what Eriksson does is it determines a 
`match value for each frame. For example, 
`there's an average match value found for the 
`first number of frames during initialization, 
`right?
`A So there's a match value that ‐‐ when the 
`match is significantly lower than the average, 
`then it’s a closed frame, otherwise it's an open 
`frame.
`Q And that match value is how Eriksson 
`determines whether the eye is open or closed. 
`That's what you mean by open frame, closed 
`frame, right?
`A Yes. That's my understanding.
`

`

`
`

`

`Eriksson: Not a Histogram
`
`Figure 5 is merely a 
`bar graph of intensity 
`values.  
`
`Figure 5 plots all 
`values in the line, not 
`selected values.
`
`Paper 15 (PO Resp.) at 47.
`
`18
`
`

`

`Eriksson: Not a Histogram
`
`Q Let's look at the left‐hand bar, again, on Figure 5. Let's say 
`that's a value of 255 for intensity, for assumption purposes. Are 
`you with me?
`A I can assume that. That would be 255 sure.
`Q I say that because it's kind of at the top of the levels.
`A Sure. It's an assumption because we don't have a vertical 
`scale.
`Q Does the curve generated by plotting the image intensities 
`along the line going through the pupil from left to right shown 
`in Figure 5 count how many pixels on that line have an intensity 
`of 255?
`A No. This is not a histogram of intensity.
`
`Paper 15 (PO Resp.) at 29; Ex. 2003 at 144:24–145:11.
`
`19
`
`

`

`Eriksson: Not a Histogram
`
`Q So you're not offering the opinion that the intensity curve 
`of Figure 5 is a projection histogram; is that right?
`A There could be a formulation where it becomes a 
`projection histogram. I didn't need to make it a projection 
`histogram in order to have it meet this claim element, so I 
`didn't try to formulate it as a projection histogram. I'm 
`treating it just as a histogram, as it’s provided here.
`Q So you're not offering an opinion that it’s a projection 
`histogram?
`A That's right.

`

`Stringa: “Horizontal Grey Level Distribution” Is
`Not a Histogram
`
`The “horizontal grey‐
`level distribution” is 
`not a histogram.
`
`The distribution 
`includes all pixels in a 
`line, not selected 
`pixels.

`

`Stringa: “Horizontal Grey Level Distribution” Is
`Not a Histogram
`
`Q …I understand the horizontal gray level 
`distribution you're pointing to, it's the values ‐‐
`the smooth values of intensity at each X 
`position on a particular line Y, right?
`A Right.
`Q So we –
`A That’s G super Y of X.
`Q We could represent a smooth value ‐‐ a 
`smooth intensity value for each value of X on a 
`line Y by a one‐dimensional array with Index X, 
`right?
`A Right. X is the parameter there.

`

`Stringa: “Horizontal Grey Level Distribution” Is
`Not a Histogram
`
`Q Does the horizontal gray level distribution 
`represent a frequency of occurrence of 
`anything?
`A I think it's being treated as a characteristic. 
`I don't know that it measures ‐‐ other than 
`as in the previous example, it's a smooth 
`version of a measure of the intensity which 
`is a sub of, for example, photons of 
`radiometric power.
