Video Camera as a sensor

Seems to me that a video camera could be used to determine a lot of things. For example, send out two parallel laser beams and measure the distance between them to get a distance to the object/ground. Or roll/pitch/yaw info. Would also be nice to have HD photos sent back, even if only one every 20 seconds.A USB web cam plugged into a RouterStation board running Open-WRT might be the right amount of CPU power.
