Perhaps you can add it to some of the vocabs in the images.* hierarchy? I think images.tesselation or images.processing would be suitable. Also see the tesselate word, if I'm not mistaken it does the same thing as your generate-sprite-sheet word. But there is nothing like your image-part and new-image-like words afaict, so those would be useful. But maybe you should rename image-part to crop-image? Cutting a smaller image from an existing one is a cropping operation.
