Yes, it is perfectly possible, if you get the architecture correct.

If you only want one image stored, then you can probably use the on-chip memory. For multiple images, you will need some external storage, as FPGAs only have a few MB of ram.

But why not elaborate on your architecture? there are many companies that have being doing image processing with FPGAs for many years.
