While it would be possible to program some vision code in Java, to utilize the GPU of the Jetson TK1 and all of the opencv customization NVIDIA built into the OpenCVforTegra you would need to use C++.

For communications there are many options.

Before you pick one... ask yourself what data you are sending and where, and why you are sending it. Some data that gets sent does not always need to get sent...

We used NetworkTables last year but we've found it to be slow for our purposes this year so we are investigating alternatives.
