    suppose there is an 256x256 gray image, and it's entropy is H0
    bits(This means, this image can be compressed to H0 bit without
    distoration), if copy this image 3 times and put them together to form
    a larger image with size 512x512, how to caculate the entropy of this
    512x512 image? does it equal to H0?
    here the entropy can also be treated as Kolmogorov-Complexcity. it
    stands for the limitation of the image can be compressed.

    it should be the same, however, the actual compressed size may be at least a
    little larger due to minor reasons

    by the size of the little program that makes 3 copies of your image.

    Which would be then Kolmogorov-Complexity I think. If all the images
    considered are generated by source that copies the image in the described
    way then the entropy should equal to that of the source outputting the
    original images.

    Entropy is not an absolute measure, it depends on the model that is
    being used. Typically, it should not be much larger than H0, but
    there are plenty of models for which it could be a lot larger.
