Re: Using Network Tables
NetworkTables doesn't send large data items like images from the robot to the laptop. However, if your goal is to process the image on the driver station computer, you can connect the camera to the switch on your robot and just open it from the laptop. There are several ways of doing that. You can write a program with RoboRealm for doing the image processing. You can write your own program using some library like OpenCV or the NIVision library, or you can make a SmartDashboard plugin that does the image processing.

If you want to do the vision processing on the robot, then there are some sample Java programs for robot-side target detection in NetBeans.
