Sample Charting Analysis for Unified Patents PATROLL

□ Patent 1 (Target): US7062085B2

□ Patent 2 (Prior Art): US6504951B1

The invention in Patent 2 may be considered as anticipating prior art for Patent 1. Both patents involve image processing methods to identify specific regions within a digital image, based on color classification and texture analysis. Patent 2 teaches a method of detecting sky regions in an image by classifying potential sky pixels based on color, extracting connected components, and eliminating those with a texture above a predetermined threshold. Additionally, it computes desaturation gradients of the connected components for comparison with a predetermined desaturation gradient for sky regions. Patent 1, on the other hand, describes a more general method for detecting subject matter regions in a digital color image by assigning belief values to each pixel based on color and texture features, forming spatially contiguous candidate subject matter regions, and analyzing the regions based on one or more unique characteristics. Given the similarities between the methods in both patents, particularly in the classification of pixels based on color, texture analysis, and gradient analysis, Patent 2 could be seen as prior art that anticipates the invention in Patent 1.
