Natural images are highly structured in their spatial configuration. Where one would expect a different spatial distribution for every image, as each image has a different spatial layout, we show that the spatial statistics of recorded images can be explained by a single process of sequential fragmentation. The observation by a resolution limited sensory system turns out to have a profound influence on the observed statistics of natural images. The power-law and normal distribution represent the extreme cases of sequential fragmentation. Between these two extremes, spatial detail statistics deform from power-law to normal through the Weibull type distribution as receptive field size increases relative to image detail size.
