Abstract
Scene understanding of photographs is very important for photographic applications, such as optimal photo finishing, contents-based retrieval and categorization, and so on. It includes technologies, such as recognizing what the main subjects are, inferring in what situation the photographs were taken, and so on. The first step to do this is to recognize what objects are on a photograph and where they are. In this paper, we introduce a new method to recognize typical objects on an outdoor photograph. Experimental results show that our system is effective to recognize these objects.
