Your script produces some very impressive results and your methodology is quite ingenious. I especially like how you exploit the quantization capabilities of GIMP (i.e., using Indexed colormaps). I was wondering what licensing your script is released under. There is room for improvement of your script, particularly with regard to its behavior as a GIMP plug-in and it would be easier to develop your script further if it were licensed to allow the sharing of derivatives (GPL, BSD, etc). This is especially true if your main interest lies with the image algorithms and you are less interested in the demands of the GIMP plug-in interface (e.g., handling UNDO, honoring selections, providing more flexible utility, menu location, etc). One thing that should be fixed fairly soon is that your script seems to produce a hidden image (i.e., no "view" associated) and neglect to remove it when finished.
