    """A multi-thread tool to crop large images to sub-images for faster IO.

    It is used for DIV2K dataset.

    opt (dict): Configuration dict. It contains:
        n_thread (int): Thread number.
        compression_level (int):  CV_IMWRITE_PNG_COMPRESSION from 0 to 9.
            A higher value means a smaller size and longer compression time.
            Use 0 for faster CPU decompression. Default: 3, same in cv2.

        input_folder (str): Path to the input folder.
        save_folder (str): Path to save folder.
        crop_size (int): Crop size.
        step (int): Step for overlapped sliding window.
        thresh_size (int): Threshold size. Patches whose size is lower
            than thresh_size will be dropped.

    Usage:
        For each folder, run this script.
        Typically, there are four folders to be processed for DIV2K dataset.
            DIV2K_train_HR
            DIV2K_train_LR_bicubic/X2
            DIV2K_train_LR_bicubic/X3
            DIV2K_train_LR_bicubic/X4
        After process, each sub_folder should have the same number of
        subimages.
        Remember to modify opt configurations according to your settings.
