suitable Embedded system to be used for image processing and gps/gsm

i am working on a project, where i would like to install an embedded system in a certain location , the system is provided with a camera , the system has to perform image processing functions on the images obtained from the camera.

The system must be attached with gps and gsm modules.

i am in the process of choosing the hardware needed, i am thinking of using a beagle board or FPGA , which one is more suitable for my application ? do you recommend other boards? do you know any gsm or gps modules that can be interfaced with these modules?

Thank you

What is the interface to your camera? USB / FireWire / I2C / other? If the Beagle Board supports what you need, and can handle the processing, that's probably the easiest way to go - FireWire and USB interfaces are not exactly trivial to do on an FPGA, unless you can get a board and a matching Linux distro for it, where everything is configured and working out of the box (and it's probably going to be expensive then...).

GPS modules typically connect over a simple serial connection, so that shouldn't be an issue for either solution.

If your image processing algorithms are too CPU intensive I'll suggest you consider FPGAs. Otherwise, Beagle board is fine.
