I will have that in mind, my problem is also that I'm planning on using a PDA to capture the pictures, and I dont think that it has the CPU power to do the calculations, at least not faster than sending them to a server and wait for the answer.

So, I realize that my question is a litle bit od, but it still remains. And of course, I will check out the OpenTracker solution.
