... We report on the preliminary results of experiments using a Bayesian cluster method to cluster objects present in photographic images of the POSS-II. ... We believe that the application of such algorithms to large-scale astronomical sky surveys can aid in cataloging the detected objects, and may even have the potential to discover new categories of objects. ... We have thus started to explore new clustering analysis and unsupervised classification techniques for this task. ...
