  I think it's enough to have a heuristic there. Trying to define a
formally exact rule can be quite difficult.

  I would say that if you can ask a random person "do these two images
show the same scene?" and the person answers "no" then the images are
sufficiently distinct.
  (Of course using just the exact same scene but radically changing the
textures is a very borderline case. I would say it falls into the
non-distinct category. Just make the scenes different.)
