Subject: image processing

I'm trying to build a program meant to recognize plants by looking at a
picture of their leafs or similar parts.

The approach that I had thought to would be:
- create a mathematical model of the leaves to be recognized
- maybe use some algorithm to combine two pictures from different angles
into one with depth measurement (absolutely don't know how this is done)
- confront the elements of the picture using distance or colors with the
models in the database (basically using only the shape of the borders)

Therefore I am looking for some good and deep guides/sources to teach me
something about this kind of "data modeling", geometrical analysis and
image processing. For now the best that I could find is the Camelia
Library (witch helps a little with colors, but I don't think will be
enough for the shape detection).


I'm aware that this is not a simple project, but I am willing to learn
and spend a good amount of months to get this started
