"similarity" can be defined many different ways.

Which pair of pictures is more "similar"?

A) Telescope pictures of two different bar galaxies of similar size and
composition; or

B) A picture of the Eiffel tower at noon compared to a picture of the Eiffel
tower taken from the same location and angle at midnight ?

Pair (A) will have far more pixels that are the same (or very close to each
other), but pair (B) has the same size and structure but with very different
color and lighting. Arguments could thus be made for either pair to be more
"similar".

I need to compare an original image (jpg) with another one make from a mosaic program (tiled image)..

I think Walter's answer would be the same.
Maybe you can post two images and say what kind of number you'd like
to get and how that might be determined, as there are hundreds of
ways.
