SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Abstract of patent application(s): An image processing system 
receives a digital image and analyzes the digital image to determine a 
resolution limit, referred to herein as ``feature resolution,'' for 
measuring a metric for features of the image within an acceptable 
margin of error. Specifically, the system segments a digital image and 
calculates the error associated with the segmented data when features 
within a certain range a measured metric (e.g., size range) are removed 
from the segmented data. This analysis can be repeatedly performed with 
different cutoff values for the metric until at least a threshold 
amount of error is reached, thereby indicating a resolution limit at 
the boundary of an acceptable amount of error.
    Intellectual property: U.S. Application No. 17/671,527, filed on 
February 14, 2022, and entitled ``Systems and Methods for Determining 
Feature Resolution of Image Data.''
    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed 
license.
    Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR part 404.

Tommy W. Lee,
Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
