This work deals with the quantification of the effects of discarding large amounts of irrelevant information in sets of images. In particular, the trade-off between the cost of losing information and the benefit of increasing perceptual speed is examined. We look for a measure of such trade-off by a new measure, 'semantic intensity', broadly defined as the ratio of amount of 'meaning' conveyed ...
