Re: Image Processing
As a rough comparison, the cRIO's PPC can do about 780 MIPs where the ints are four bytes big. The Arduino can do 16MIPs where the ints are one byte. So the Arduino is capable of many things, but unless you get one heck of a shield, this isn't contributing much CPU. Similarly, with just a few K of memory, it would be difficult to impossible to even perform the JPEG decoding. Even the Propellor Shield that was linked to as the CMUCam only mentions pretty basic image processing.
Teams have had some success with things like Pandas, Beagle's, and Beagle Bones. You can also send the images to the DS laptop and do the processing in the dashboard application and send the results back. The Atom in the lowest end laptop is around 3000MIPs, by the way.
