Abstract
We are living in the Information Age, and information has become a critically important component of our life. Due to the success of the Internet, the amount of available information, including immense volumes of visual information, is growing explosively. Therefore means for its faultless circulation and handling are urgently required. Considerable research efforts are dedicated today to address this necessity, but they are seriously hampered by the lack of a common agreement about "What actually is visual information?" Without answering this question, all our remarkable efforts inevitably end up as a plain alchemy. I am trying to find out a remedy for this bizarre and absurd situation. I propose my own definition of information (derived from the Kolmogorov\´s complexity theory), and from this point of view, attempt to revise the state of the art of contemporary image processing convention.
