Quick Question about Threads

[apples000]

I'm currently writing some robot code, and I've been wondering about using multiple threads in java. As far as I know, it's the same as using threads in any other java application, but some people on my team think differently. Here's what I think should work. I'm not sure that starting the thread in the constructor is the best idea, and I'm also not sure that I'm using thread.sleep() the right way. I know that I could start the thread from somewhere else by using new Thread(Vision).start();, but what would work with java for FRC?

public class Vision implements Runnable{
    public Vision(){
         new Thread(this).start();
   }
    public void run() {
        while(processImages){
            //image stuff here
                 try {
                    Thread.sleep(100);
            } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}
