My students are doing a similar thing. It's their first year trying vision and they are dong the vision code in python using opencv, while the robot is programmed in java. The vision code runs on a raspberry pi and sends data to the driver station and robot using network tables.

We playing around at first with using opencv in Java. Our choice for python was based on the fact that python was easier to implement on the pi, opencv was easier to work with in python and students have option of working entirely in python next year. Of course this decision was made before we learned opencv was to be bundled with the wpi libraries . Either way I think we made the right decision.
