Real Time Image processing from a drone

I have the following products:

drone iris+
Pixhawk

For my last year project I want to process the image from the drone in real time and to control the drone by the image.

I don't find which product will be the best for me... is it the Raspberry pi or maybe something else that I'm not familiar with.

Thanks

Regarding software: I would suggest using the OpenCV (computer vision) library for your image processing needs. There's a nice built in function for camera input that interfaces nicely with both Python and C++ programming languages. Depending on your experience writing software, I would recommend python (higher level, possibly slower, portable) or C++ (fighter jet: hard to use, higher ceiling in terms of performance). C++ might be appropriate for the speed necessary to operate a drone. I would check the docs to see if the package serves your needs before diving in.

Regarding hardware: Consider using Arduino to interface with peripheral hardware, but I'm definitely not experienced with this sort of thing.

Have fun!

Any embedded linux computer should work. The Odroid series has more computing power than a raspberry pi, which will be helpful here. See this article for setup instructions: http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/odroid-via-mavlink/
