Document mosaicing

Have you ever played with building blocks? Imagine you have a bunch of different blocks and you want to make a really big tower with them. You start by stacking them up one on top of the other, but then you realize that you don't have enough blocks to make it as tall as you want it to be.

That's where document mosaicing comes in. It's like taking a bunch of smaller towers that you've built with your blocks and putting them next to each other to make one big tower.

In the same way, document mosaicing is when you take a lot of smaller pictures or documents and put them together to make one big picture or document. This can be really helpful if you only have a small scanner or camera and you need to scan or take a picture of something that is too big to fit all at once.

So instead of trying to fit the whole thing in one picture or scan, you take several smaller pictures or scans and put them together like a puzzle to make one big picture or document. This way, you can see the whole thing, even if it's too big to fit in one picture or scan.

So, document mosaicing is like playing with blocks and making a big tower out of smaller ones, or taking lots of smaller pictures or documents and putting them together to make a big one.
