Raspberry Pi for real time video processing

Question

A project I'm working on involves wireless transmission of images from a camera to a host computer in real time. Can the Raspberry Pi be used as a DSP for the camera for image acquisition and pre-processing?

The OpenMAX API is available on the Raspberry Pi. It handles audio and video encoding/decoding, for example, JPEG.

The eLinux wiki lists other APIs usable on the Raspberry Pi:s graphic processor.

It has a DSP for image postprocessing, but the drivers are closed, and you can't see the specification sheet unless you are NDAed, etc... Which is a bit annoying. I think they use it for the new camera module.

Pierre has worked on image processing on Rpi. I think you will find the mentioned tutorials helpful iff you have a prior knowledge of languages. AYBABTU
