Generates a mosaic of small tile images combined with a large main image
This functions goal generate a mosaic image based on a single (usually large) main
image, and multiple small tile images. A large mosaic image will be randomly generated
from the multiple tile images. The resulting mosaic image will be combined with the
main image, forming the desired result. The ratio between images “strength” is defined
by the Overlay Ratio ranging between [0:1]. Smaller value will make the large main
image be dominant, while larger Overlay Ratio will make the mosaic image (formed from
tiles images) more obvious, at the expense of the main image. The user can (and
should) define regions with different Overlay Ratio values. For example when the main
image is a portrait, the Overlay Ratio value around the face should be small (about
0.2), while it can be high (about 0.7) in other less important areas. The user can
also resize the final image, sharpen the small images, convert them to color (RGB) or
Gray images, if needed.
