Re: Best board for vision processing (beagle/panda/beaglebone/etc?)

Recent production increase of the Raspberry PI and a memory increase to 512 makes this a better choice as a co-processor. Delivery times are now ~14 days, so ordering now is a must.

Still love the Beagle Bone for the IO farm it has, but for a small vision processor the PI has moved to the front.

I still think that computer vision isn't possible this year. Too much color differences between shops (crappy incandescent), practice field (florescent) and game fields (mercury and sodium). St Louis has the new SuperLux lamps to make color and brightness on TV work well. But I think the improvements in processors will let the vision sent back to the player station be a huge bonus.
