That's not necessarily true. Reconsider how you perform your image processing. It's perfectly reasonable to process a single frame to get all the information you need to lock on to the target and shoot accurately.

Vision processing does not necessarily mean processing vision in real-time, at real-time speeds. That is a mistake many programmers make. In fact, I can tell you that most manufacturing vision systems we have in our production lines use the single-frame method.
