Hello,  
I want to code and buy a camera, that can recognize parts of a mini car

I would suggest using the camera of an android phone, as it is relatively easy to develop an android app with processing. But as for the software I strongly doubt that there is a library optimized for processing that can analyze an image at an accuracy- and efficiency-level you need it to be. I recommend using a java-library for this, one such library that might work is:

One example of a working Java-code snippet is:
