Camellia is more image recognition/computer vision type stuff.

If you're having trouble with RMagick/MiniMagick in 64 bit windows
OSes, my guess is you need to install a more up-to-date 64bit build of
ImageMagick or ImageScience.  Check to make sure you have one of those
installed first, then try your gem again.

If it still doesn't work after you've installed ImageMagick or
ImageScience, try using the convert.exe program that comes with them.
You can always use ruby to shell out and run that program, if you
can't get the gem to work inside of ruby.  Not as clean or as nice,
but workable for one-off situations.
