Hi everybody,
I'm involved in a project to build an autonomous UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to compete in a competition with the goal of locating a lost hiker in the Australian outback. We are looking for a small, light, and powerful system to do our image processing.
I had previously hoped a Nano ITX system would be powerful enough, but from what I have read the VIA 1GHz Nano ITX systems are somewhat weak. The only thing holding us back from choosing a Mini ITX system is that it might not actually fit on the plane, and it is slightly heavier. I will take measurements of the plane and see how big it can be later this afternoon. Power consumption is also an issue, since it will be running off of a 14.7V 3.6Ah (amp hour) battery (subject to change).
I'm hoping there are some systems slightly smaller than Mini ITX with an Intel of AMD processor, but I wasn't able to find any. Anyways let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance!
