Ideal Location to Store Images in Codebase?

[Thanh Trung Dinh]

Hi Kartikx,

I've just pulled the repo and test. For me, you have some typo errors and
fixing those make it work as you want.
When you look in the cmakelists.txt you wrote in your facehelpdlg folder,
you wrongly named workOnAllCoresImg.png with workOnAllCores.png. In
addition, when you invoked, you wrongly named overlayImg.png with
OverlayImg.png

Hope that it helps you save some of your time.
