Similar

I have a philosophical question and wait for your answer.

How do you define the Term "Similar"?

When 2 images are considered as “Similar images”?

 

 

 

According to Google, as similar is defined:

  • marked by correspondence or resemblance; "similar food at similar prices"; "problems similar to mine"; "they wore similar coats"
  • alike(p): having the same or similar characteristics; "all politicians are alike"; "they looked utterly alike"; "friends are generally alike in background and taste"
  • like: resembling or similar; having the same or some of the same characteristics; often used in combination; "suits of like design"; "a limited circle of like minds"; "members of the cat family have like dispositions"; "as like as two peas in a pod"; "doglike devotion"; "a dreamlike quality"
  • (of words) expressing closely related meanings
  • exchangeable: capable of replacing or changing places with something else; permitting mutual substitution without loss of function or suitability; "interchangeable electric outlets" "interchangeable parts"
