Quick Question about Threads

[apples000]

My idea, which is my attempt to keep things simple, was to have a thread that would process the image, store the coordinates of the image in a variable, then wait 100ms. This would keep the processor happy. If we wanted, we could time the processing stuff then subtract that time from 100ms to make sure that we got exactly 10fps. Then, our PID loop for targeting would look to the most recently calculated image coordinate by using a method in the vision class which gets the variables with the coordinates. I realize that the PID loop may be sometimes getting bad information, for instance, it may grab the same coordinates twice before the cRIO can process another image. We used labview to do the same thing on the cRIO, and it worked fine. If my logic is flawed, I think I could just call a method which processes the image in the PID loop, which is threaded. What is the easiest way to get the image stuff working in a thread?
