One of the steps is to detect edges. ImageMagick will do that

That sounds like a great idea - by driving the Lego focus all the way
from one end to another taking pictures as you go, and selecting
the best parts of each, you'd end up with better-than-perfect focussing.

I guess you'd want to be careful to mount the camera very rigidly
so it doesn't wobble as you drive the focussing ring.

Also, it would be a dismal failure for moving images.

That would sure help make the image processing faster, but techniques do exist for image registration (e.g. (URL) This is often required for MRI or electron microsope images since the movement of the apparatus affects the image scale, skew and (...)
