Ok, fair enough - I'll put together my own scanning routine to do this.

Matt,

That seems like a very specific need, and not one I have seen reflected
in the statistics reporting of any package in the past.  I doubt that this
will be incorporated into the existing statistics api.

Of course, developers can always write their own image scanning function
to figure this sort of thing out.

Best regards,
