Detection of particular meaningful objects in images is of great importance in many fields, including image retrieval or image quality analysis. In this contribution, eleven frequently observed objects (areas) in natural images are learned and detected. The presented algorithm is based on region merging and Bayesian decision theory. The main goal is not perfect recognition, since for that purpose it is necessary to use higher-level knowledge about the image content. Merging of segments proceeds only up to a reliable point, not to merge different categories. Unique merging criteria combine the values of probabilities attached to the segments for all the most likely categories, color and texture features and information about edges. Results are demonstrated on a few images and discussed.
