  • I think your question can be solved with http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/20792/how-to-superimpose-latex-on-a-picture or http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/9559/drawing-on-an-image-with-tikz – Ignasi May 19 '15 at 11:02

This can pretty easily be done with TikZ, as @Ignasi suggested in his comment. Obviously you'll have to tweak the widths of the included graphics...

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{tikz}

\newlength\imagewidth
\newlength\imagescale

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.618\linewidth]{img1}
    \caption{Image 1}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.309\linewidth]{img2}
    \caption{Image 2}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \pgfmathsetlength{\imagewidth}{\linewidth}%
    \pgfmathsetlength{\imagescale}{\imagewidth/524}%
    \begin{tikzpicture}[x=\imagescale,y=-\imagescale]
        \node[anchor=north west] at (0,0) {\includegraphics[width=\imagewidth]{img1}};
        \node[anchor=north west] at (300,100) {\includegraphics[width=0.25\imagewidth]{img2}};
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \caption{Both images on top of each other}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

If you prefer, you can do this kind of thing outside of latex easily with imagemagick. The +5+10 part controls the location of figure1 on figure2.
