Help with Image Processing Toolbox

I am currently working on a project that requires me to check the orientation of stacks of paper. I felt that the Image Processing Toolbox would be a good way to go about it in that it would be fairly straight forward and cheap. The process that I have in mind is this:

Basically what I want to do is snap a picture of three stacks of paper that each have a slight offset to the other. Then read that photo into MATLAB and attempt to measure the offset to determine whether or not it is in tolerence. I am in no way familiar with this toolbox so I am having difficulty understanding exactly how to go about this. I have looked through a few of the tutorials with no success to what I am trying to do. Does MATLAB require a certain file type in order to use the appropriate commands?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you!

MATLAB can read many types of files. If you're looking to use imread, you can find the accepted formats by running

imformats

at the command line.
