I am doing an image processing project inSTM3241G-EVAL Evaluation board with STM32F417IG MCU. Can somebody help in guiding me how to acquire the image from the camera on the evaluation board?

So you do have teachers to help you!

Most importantly, you should discuss with your teachers whether your project idea is appropriate to the course requirements and to your level of experience.

This is a little confusing!

The original suggestions were that you try the examples - you say you've done that, but 'didn't succeed'.

Now

‌ is just pointing you again to the examples - so had you not actually tried them?

>> but 'didn't succeed'

I assumed the horse went down at the first fence...

Like speaking to a Frenchman in English, if at first you don't succeed try slower and louder...

Not sure if a Cortex M board is the proper device for your stated goal, I would have chosen a Cortex A board with embedded Linux, and openCV.

With the current choice, I suspect most of your bachelor work will involve circumventing hardware and ressource limitations, and not pattern recognition.

Getting down to money, a Cortex A5 is about the same price range as high-end M4 and M7.

Indeed

A Raspberry Pi would seem the obvious choice for a project like this.

Again, this is the kind of thing which should have been discussed with the supervisor at the proposal stage.

Indeed.

And, I suspect, A Raspberry Pi is cheaper than the

The Raspberry would not be my prime selection (because of a few poor design choices), but surely a much better one.

A great advantage is the number of available software packages (mostly free), and the large, active community.
