Clearly algorithm selection matters as well. How much info do you need to know? How certain do you need to be?

Similarly, a camera is a sensor. How often do you need to read the sensor? How few images can be processed? What sensors can be used to supplement the camera?
Best summary set ever. I never really understood why teams needed 15fps of video.

Joe, another, but more costly option would be the Cubieboard family, presently they have the Cubieboard 3 (aka Cubie truck) It's a dual core ARM with a ton of ways to get data on and off the board. I've used the prior version and was impressed with the added processing power. The dual core Cubie2 and Cubie3 makes a difference in processing power, the extra memory can make a big difference.
