Mainly, I'm using the pi right now because we already have several, as well as the camera modules. It would be nice to have something a bit faster though. Thanks for pointing out alternatives though, I had done some looking but didn't get very far. I may just have to get my hands on an ODROID.
To clarify I'm using OpenCV for the image processing, but getting data from the raspberry pi camera module (over the csi-2 port) isn't straight-forward. I did look around for some library to do this, but didn't have much luck - the closest I really found was the raspicam app from userland (
https://github.com/raspberrypi/userl.../apps/raspicam) - which is what this code is based on.
I don't have any trouble with the links
