Interpreting background is very important in natural scene images. This paper addresses the automaticclassification of background region by using visual semantic template. The method to create the templates is intro-duced first. Then we use these templates to classify background regions, and the results are analyzed. We also usethese templates to locate background objects in images, and to determine whether an image contains certain kind ofbackground. The result is promising in object locating. Some approaches to improve the ability of these templates arealso discussed.
