    Raspberry PI Fondation are working on a camera module. Also, you can use mini-itx motherboard (http://www.mini-box.com/Mainboards-Mini-ITX). Also VIA http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/VIA-launches-Android-PC-mini... .

    Using a camera USB Video Class compatible you could be able to process image using Linux program and Raspberry PI/VIA.

    Some use Kinect http://dronolab.etsmtl.ca/ (there is an english version of the website).

    You also need to take into consideration the the output from the camera. One of the nice things about the Fit2 is that it has Gigabyte Ethernet and some industrial cameras use this as an interface.

    Thanks Jeffrey. Out of fit1 and pico what do you prefer in performance?

    i have had the fit1 i had two hdd for it i ran both windows and linux but i prefer window better gui . have you considered ((mini itx)pico/nano 2 kinds) board is kinda small if size is an issue my flatscreen has a pico( movie library thing)  and a few 100gig hdd connected to it still runs quick . or the cappuchinos are mad to be tough and rugged as a car pc this site will better inform you     http://www.cappuccinopc.com/default.asp

    @Ellison Thanks. I'm looking for little bit more processing power, for example, tracking a object/person etc. (hmm, would that be advanced image processing..?) Yes, a fully optimized code might be able to squeeze into one of the above micro controllers, but would love to use it in other projects that would demand more power.

    Both APM1 and APM2 are based on the Atmega2560 microcontroller ship.  No FPU, and running at 16mhz.  Good enough for simple flight control and small matrix calculations.  Nothing else more.

    By the summer, the AeroQuad32 board will probably go production.  This one has a STM32 F4.  Should be suitable for basic image processing, but nothing heavy.
