For the representation of a complex object, the object is decomposed into several parts, and it is described by these decomposed parts and their relations. In genral, the parts can be the primitive elements that can not be decomposed further, or can be decomposed into their subparts. Therefore, the hierarchical description method is very natural and it si represented by a hierarchical attributed graph whose vertieces represent either primitive elements or graphs. This graphs also have verties which contain primitive elements or graphs. When some uncertainty exists in the hierarchical description of a complex object either due to noise or minor deformation, a probabilistic description of the object ensemble is necessary. For this purpose, in this paper, we formally define the hierarchical attributed random graph which is extention of the hierarchical random graph, and erive the equations for the entropy calculation of the hierarchical attributed random graph, and derive the equations for the entropy calculation of the hierarchical attributed random graph. Finally, we propose the application areas to use these concepts.
