Ask HN: Best single board computer for computer vision?

3 points by jgotti92 10y ago ↗ HN

I know there is a Raspberry pi 3 on the market right now but I was wondering is there any other more powerful option for an embedded computer vision project (with OpenCV) ?

Have you had a look at the BeagleBoard?

Or maybe something like this http://www.nvidia.com/object/jetson-tk1-embedded-dev-kit.htm... ?

The BeagleBoard doesn't have such strong processing capabilities that I need.

However, this Nvidia TK1 seems like a perfect match, It is bit expensive but definitely worth investigating more.

Thx for the info!

$599

It has a hefty power but also a hefty price! Never heard of this one. Thanks for the info!

FPGA?

Never actually worked with FPGAs...

How difficult is to set everything up on it, as now it seems it is just the best to stay out of it?!

It's more work, so one might not start with an FPGA but if you need performance...
