Overlay an image in OpenCV using Python

OverlayImage.py

# Adapted from http://www.aishack.in/2010/07/transparent-image-overlays-in-opencv/
from cv2 import *

src     = cv.LoadImage("image.jpg")		# Load a source image
overlay = cv.LoadImage("ghost.png")		# Load an image to overlay
posx = 170					# Define a point (posx, posy) on the source
posy = 100					# image where the overlay will be placed
S = (0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5)			# Define blending coefficients S and D
D = (0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5)			

def OverlayImage(src, overlay, posx, posy, S, D):

	for x in range(overlay.width):

		if x+posx < src.width:

			for y in range(overlay.height):

				if y+posy < src.width:

					source = cv.Get2D(src, y+posy, x+posx)
					over   = cv.Get2D(overlay, y, x)
					merger = [0, 0, 0, 0]

					for i in range(3):
						merger[i] = (S[i]*source[i]+D[i]*over[i])

					merged = tuple(merger)

					cv.Set2D(src, y+posy, x+posx, merged)

OverlayImage(src, overlay, posx, posy, S, D)

cv.SaveImage('src.png', src) #Saves the image
print "Done"

Python 3 would have been better indeed.
