The OpenCV codebase was compiled to run on the roboRIO. I'm not saying that it was
created for the roboRIO.

You don't have to run your vision stuff in the VM. OS X can still connect to the robot and you can run your java app there, although I still wouldn't expect it to process images at any more than 15 fps because of the Duo (for comparison, my laptop was running an i5-2537M). 15 fps should be fine if you don't try to use it to shoot or aim when the robot's going full speed.

If that happens, your code should ignore "targets" smaller than some threshold. Then you'd only be processing the real targets.
