I have strong knowledge as a programmer, but I am very new to embedded development and equipment. I’ve been looking for some development boards for about three weeks, but I don’t want to spend my precious money in the wrong way, and I want to ask you if I am doing it right.
I need to do real-time image processing for three cameras in two glasses: with medium resolution (maybe the TCM8240MD 1300x1040 CMOS sensor) and two small cameras for direct tracking of the pupil (maybe with black and white 120x90 resolution.)
I will need to track the direction of both eyes and see where the person is looking at the third camera (higher resolution). While I am doing this, I will do multiple face detection in this third camera and check if the pupil focuses on some of these detected faces.
I also plan to project some data into the lenses of the glasses in order to focus the detected faces, like on a regular camera, but not yet confirmed.
After researching in some places (including here), I found these two options in many of them:
- Beagleboard xM
- ARM9Board OK6410
The latter comes with an LCD and is cheaper than a Beagleboard, but I'm not sure if it will do it.
If you have any other suggestion, I will greatly appreciate it.
The price may be around $ 250, but cheaper, better for me!
It can be based on Android or Linux. I think OK6410 supports Android.
Beagleboard has OpenCV support, and I read that it can help me in processing this image.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor English, Vinicius
