You might be interested in the CMUcam.
See http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~cmucam/
Briefly:
<quote>
CMUcam is a new low-cost, low-power sensor for
mobile robots. You can use CMUcam to do many
different kinds of on-board, real-time vision
processing. Because CMUcam uses a serial port, it
can be directly interfaced to other low-power
processors such as PIC chips.
At 17 frames per second, CMUcam can do the
following:
- track the position and size of a colorful or bright object
- measure the RGB or YUV statistics of an image region
- automatically acquire and track the first object it sees
- physically track using a directly connected servo
- dump a complete image over the serial port
- dump a bitmap showing the shape of the tracked object

BTW - I have nothing to do with CMU or this product. Just a curious
bystander... ;-)
