Usable FPGA board

Hi, I'm pretty new to this forum. Currently working on a engineering project and need some advice on this stuff. I'm looking to buy a low end FPGA board for image processing. The FPGA need...

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

I think the cheapest camera to make due with is a Webcam, thus an USB / USB2.0 interface.

Otherwise, I think a low cost IP camera will also work, thus an Ethernet connection.

The idea that I have is to connect a camera to this FPGA and do image processing as the images stream to the FPGA. I'd also like to get an idea what the cheapest FPGA is that I can make this happen with.

The type of processing I'd like to do with the images is in the line of distance an direction calculations from images.

Regards
