You can also try renaming all your images to lowercase and then use
something like this:
location ~* (?P<name>.*)\.(?P<ext>jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$
{
perl_set new_name 'sub { my $r = shift; return lc($r->variable("name"); }'
perl_set new_ext 'sub { my $r = shift; return lc($r->variable("ext"); }'
try_files $new_name.$new_ext /404error;
}
