In addition to all the issues that Andrew has raised, I should point out that drawing the schematic is the "easy" part. Laying out a circuit board for a processor like this would require that you have experience designing (properly) multi-layer, high-speed circuit boards with multiple power and ground layers. There are no secrets or black art involved, just years of study. Learning to use the free Altium package only makes you a CAD operator, not a PCB designer. If you do not understand the difference, you are unlikely to design the circuit board properly, leading to "anomalous" operation that will make you tear your hair out. It is also likely that you will have a lot of trouble properly soldering the QFP and QFN packages.

It may be best if you do some research and find out what external processor boards other teams have been using to do their vision processing and buy one of them. It is likely that you will pay much more for just a bare PCB than you will for one of these fully functioning, mass produced processor boards.
