  Image information content is known to be a complicated and controvercial
problem. This paper posits a new image information content definition.
Following the theory of Solomonoff-Kolmogorov-Chaitin's complexity, we define
image information content as a set of descriptions of imafe data structures.
Three levels of such description can be generally distinguished: 1)the global
level, where the coarse structure of the entire scene is initially outlined; 2)
the intermediate level, where structures of separate, non-overlapping image
regions usually associated with individual scene objects are deliniated; and 3)
the low-level description, where local image structures observed in a limited
and restricted field of view are resolved. A technique for creating such image
information content descriptors is developed. Its algorithm is presented and
elucidated with some examples, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the
proposed approach.
