If you are just looking to carve the images from it, there are lots of
tools out there to do this.  The first ones which come to mind are
FTimes (ftimes.sourceforge.net), which just won the DFRWS contest for
their file carving challenge, and foremost (foremost.sourcefourge.com).

If you feed in the header signatures for the pgm files they should be
able to grab any images out of the usb stream.
