Collage of images, can it be done automatically?

[Temujin]

I've seen some people, one here (dont remember who though), who's created a collage using many images. The dominant colour in one image represents a single "pixel" or colour in the final collage, creating a new image.
Know what I'm talking about

If you do, could you direct me to a program that would let me do that automatically?

A quick Google search reveals this comparison. I have no experience with any of them, but it may help.
