Vision Processing

[Anatole]

Hello,
I'm sure this has been brought up a million and one times, but I wanted to ask a few questions of my own so I can really understand how to do this.

I've got the sample vision code working correctly on a command based robot project. Now I'm wondering how I could use the SmartDashboard to process the vision so it takes less cRIO cpu and I can see the processed images on the dashboard (for debugging).
I've read this tutorial for making a simple widget for the Dashboard:

I'm rather lost on how to make this and process images in the SmartDashboard to send data to the robot.
Thanks!
