APM + Raspberry Pi + Camera based landing

I have to do a final semester project for a quad to auto-land on a target. Is this possible using and APM, a raspberry pi? I've used the APM for quite a while now, and know my way around how to get it set up, tune it and fly using it but am not too good at coding. I was looking at DroneKit and from what I understand, it should allow me to send commands to the vehicle after doing some image processing, is this correct? Is there any way to completely simulate this on software before implementing it in hardware? I can't seem to completely wrap my head around how to go about it. Would it be better to do the image processing on board the raspberry pi or a laptop? How should I go about it?

Thanks.
