[Gumstix-users] Video capture with 2-3 web cams on Verdex Pro XM4?

[Lucas <ws...@gm...>]

I'd like to hook up 2 or 3 web cameras to a Verdex Pro XM4, and do some very
lightweight processing on them, mainly just querying a small number of
pixels to see if they exceed a threshold.  Ideally I would get low
resolution at a high framerate (320x240 or even 160x120 at 30 fps or even
better 60fps).  Is the gumstix at all suitable for this?  Can anyone
recommend cameras they've used with gumstix that will work easily?  I've
found some discussion when searching this list but not a lot of positive
results with specific model numbers, achieved framerates or cpu overhead.

Also I'm not clear from what I've read elsewhere, but would any camera Linux
supports elsewhere would be supported by gumstix using the same kernel
version?

Thank you,

Lucas
