We applied the recursive approach to a set of images and found that (1) the number of substructures of an image is far lower (3 percent on average) than the number of pixels and the centroids of the substructures can effectively capture the skeleton or saliency of the image; (2) all the images have the recursive levels more than three, indicating that they are indeed living images; (3) no more than 2 percent of the substructures are decomposable; (4) structural beauty can be measured by the recursively defined substructures, as well as their decomposable subsets.

Based on the concept of living structure, this paper develops an approach for computing the structural beauty or life of an image (L) based on the number of automatically derived substructures (S) and their inherent hierarchy (H).
