How to use:

• For more details on what the function is trying to achieve, see dev blog to know more
• Most of the variables you need to adjust will be in the main function
• uncomment imshow() function in order to show the specific progress
• changing the name of filename, refname, noisename will change the input image
• changing the name of funcname and outputname will change the output image
• changing the values in function colorPickByMidPoint() will change the main two colors
• adding the values in function colorPickByMidPoint() will change the gradient of the color picker
• adding the values in function fillColor() will change the value the ratio between the source image and the color picker
• changing the values in getMarkers() will change the size and area of the sections
• changing the number between 0 and contours.size in both getAlpha() function will get different area that you want to be lighten up
• setting the last boolean to true or false in finalCombine() will decide if you are using the noise image or not
