I don't have anything as extensive as what you are looking for.  However, I do
have the following IDL procedures which are useful for CCD images:

- READ_PMIS.PRO        ; Reads Photometrics format CCD files (.PMI)
- READ_PRINCETON.PRO   ; Read Princeton Instruments format CCD files (.SPE)
- READ_SIEMENS.PRO     ; Reads Siemens (Bruker) format CCD files

- IMAGE_DISPLAY.PRO    ; An object-oriented image display tool.  Interactive
                       ; pan, scroll, zoom.  Live display of cursor position
                       ; and data, live plotting of row/column profiles
- DETECT_2D_PEAKS.PRO  ; Simple GUI program to detect and locate spots (e.g.
                       ; diffraction peaks) in an image

I also have software for tomography reconstruction of projection images taken
with CCD cameras.

IMAGE_DISPLAY may be a starting point for what you want.  I would suspect that
there may be better starting points in the stuff available on the Web.
