You can detect your USB hardware with Microsoft's UVCView utility, or
with lsusb (Linux):

A decade ago some linguist claimed to have a system that could search
voice files. I lost track of her but she said she had worked for Mitch
Kapoor before her doctorate.

My guess is you could convert the photos to text using GIFSCII, which
would make them sufficiently fuzzy. They you would use a 4x4
transformation (with perspective scalings in the fourth dimension) to
convert everything to the same frame of reference.

I'd guess it exists already, but some gatekeeper refuses to believe it
enough to promote it.

I believe JPEG/MPEG uses eigencovariance to transform the image to the
coordinate system that requires the least possible storage, so that
should already take care of the frame of reference. I suspect if you
can get a search engine to just notice were in the JPEG this is
located, it can find similar images. SOme of this work resulted from
Kalman, Dhrymes & Los working on the SDI identification problem in the
late 1980s.
