It is difficult to give feedback on the diagrams without some context; a 
short description for each diagram would be useful. One of the diagrams 
mentions UI concepts (menus, button) so could be improved with a UI 
mockup, which would make the locations of the UI widgets in your diagram 
more obvious.

Another of the diagrams mentions GStreamer and some of the GStreamer 
plugin packages, and it would make sense to break the packages down to 
the individual plugins that are used, as you are trying to show where 
your ‘effect’ fits into the GStreamer pipeline.

You may want to try building Cheese from git master (making sure to pass 
--enable-gtk-doc to configure), as I have made significant improvements 
to the private and public API documentation over the last fortnight.  
Alternatively, you may want to just clone the repository and read the 
source code comments directly. This should help with understanding how 
Cheese links effects to the image preview, how UI actions are handled 
and so on.
