The object to object entropy is derived from the nature of the objects (their semantic relevance to each other, termed selection entropy) and to their geometric arrangement.

The measure is calculated by constructing an entropy tree that links all the objects within the scene together. The total entropy is thus the sum of all the individual 'object to object' entropies within the tree.
