A preliminary investigation confirmed the possibility of assessing the translation and rotation information content of simple binary images viewed at the output of a sensor array. In this paper, following a brief summary of the essence of the techniques used, we show how the translation and rotation component of the information are related to the overall information associated with a particular pattern. The overall information may be regarded as the information associated with a particular input pattern which may occupy any of the possible orientations and positions with equal probability. Simple rectangular patterns are used to illustrate the results, which are discussed in detail, but the technique is applicable to any shape.
