I believe that "PLN and some visual processing" could do this, yeah. However, integrating OpenCog with a good vision processing system is going to be a big job.... I wrote a conceptual paper for an AAAI symposium, on integrating OpenCog with the DeSTIN vision system, titled "A Novel Strategy for Hybridizing Subsymbolic and Symbolic Learning and Representation" http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=10&ved=0CHUQFjAJ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aaai.org%2Focs%2Findex.php%2FFSS%2FFSS11%2Fpaper%2Fdownload%2F4217%2F4569&ei=pNvRT_eQA4uA6QHqwpCjAw&usg=AFQjCNHQMi4vZurInaIROQHsLBQw3H7T0A&sig2=fsGoblzB0peuNSTSEUtimw [note, that paper just gives the concept, not any results yet...] More recently, I wrote some more concrete thoughts about how to modify DeSTIN to make this integration easier. http://wiki.opencog.org/w/DestinOpenCog All this is IMO do-able, but not trivial....
