Does your suggestion come down to this interface?:

Not quite, it would be more like:
- ISP1362 connects to the webcam via USB
- Control logic in the FPGA streams data from the webcam to your image processing logic (a NIOS processor could work for this task)
- Your processed images would then be written to RAM or to whatever display you decide to use.

That would be a problem, because I have to design a mobile hand-held system for doing the image processing. A DE-115 board would be far too big

Ignore that requirement for now. You have to get something
working first. How can you design the final board without knowing how big an FPGA you need? You're better off to start big, get the system working, and then work on optimization for your final product.
