How to create an image mosaic

For a birthday present I generated an image mosaic using the metapixel command.
Firstly get atleast 1000 images in [base_image_folder] and sub-directories. Then process the data with:  


metapixel-prepare --width=64 --height=96 -r [base_image_folder] [tmp_thumbnails_dir]


This processing will take a while. Then generate the mosaic with:


metapixel -w 48 -h 64 -s 8 --metapixel [image_pattern_for_mosaic] [output_image_file] --library [tmp_thumbnails_dir]


This should only take a few minutes. For different resolutions change the size flag.
