Not really, as that mixes dirs and files. So for a directory with files 
and subdirs the result of

ls | wc -l    !=   find . -type f | wc -l

And hidden files and dirs are not counted as well.


for dir in $(find /home/image/ -type d)
   do echo ">> current dir: ${dir}"
       find ${dir} -type f
       echo -n "<< number of files: "
       find ${dir} -type f | wc -l
       echo
   done
