This PR implements StitchingMode.AVERAGE along with StitchingMode.MAXIMUM in ahcore.readers for better tile stitching.
Functionality of the stitching modes illustrated through a test case:
We make a 2x2 grid with tiles of size (200,200) with an overlap of (50,50).
Each tile has a different color and at the overlaps, the colors are mixed as shown below.
In the overlap regions, the portion where two tiles overlap has a value of 4, the portions where two tiles overlap has a value of 2. The black regions have a value of 1.
The overlap regions array is used for the averaging operation or to calculate maximum values.
The test I have implemented checks for colors in the different overlap regions and non-overlapping regions of the stitched image and asserts for correctness.
