Just FYI I doubt they're doing any image processing (or at least not much), there's just not enough memory or CPU power on the phone. Though if the CPU issue were resolved, you could imagine for an app that really does only care about location (as oppposed to one that cares about objects that might appear in any location) you could swap in new image recognition databases over the air...
