http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/137104 You probably aren't interested in software for cryogenically cooled astronomy cameras http://apogee-driver.sourceforge.net/ But you might like to find an old photopc camera and use that http://photopc.sourceforge.net/cameras.html If you can swing a firewire camera http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/coriander/ Like this one http://www.unibrain.com/Products/VisionImg/Fire_i_DC.htm Or these http://www.turnkey-solutions.com.au/cam_imagingsource_firewire_camera_index.htm These people would sell you quantity if you need it. http://www.ptgrey.com/products/imaging.asp?gclid=CJfN956w75oCFQwxawodFnGTAQ on a related note, once you can control your camera you can make sense of it's output. http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/ Clearly it is possible to do what you want with a careful selection of camera and software. But I think Ben's idea of using COTS parts and consumer focused services (just upload your pictures to this picasa account and software takes care of the rest) would be your shortest path to solving this problem.
