suggest me a board for image processing

[Altera_Forum]

hiya fellows, im doin a project based on finger gestures recognition. i need a board with following spec * a faciity to attach camera * pretty large memory to store and process video frames * connection to a speaker and input from microphone. * a port to connect to my phone * a lcd to display the pic i referred to DE1/DE2 boards and it was said that it was camera development package.i need to know is it possible to store vhdl codes for gesture recognition and few more modules and simulate it on these boards or is these board only for development of camera. im really confused pls i need help urgently.

thanks jones for ur reply. but i have doubt cant my project be implemented in DE1 or DE2 boards???can we implement any fpga projects(for ex my finger spelling recognition) in DE1/2 boards or are they just use to develop only camera??? how abt nios can i interface a camera along with it??

Perhaps the title of your post should have been "Please justify me in using a DE1/DE2 for image processing". In the end, all the boards are about the same. They are FPGAs with memory and I/O. The only thing that distinguishes them is the amount of memory and type of IO. 

 You write the code for the FPGA so it does whatever you want it to.  You can use the NIOS if you want to but you certainly don't have to. If the DE1 or DE2 have the memory you need and the I/O you need then go ahead and use one of those.  Jake

thanks again jones...actually i read about de1/2 only so didnt knew abt nios ii but i jus read abt it after u said..but i guess it doesnt have support for camera attachment. and i have anothre query..can i do image processing algorithms on the video or pic taken by the camera with the codes written on the fpga or i can jus transfer the pic or the video taken to pc.
