And there a open source module

OpenMV (Open Machine Vision Module)

OpenMV is an open-source tiny machine vision module based on an STM32F4xx ARM Cortex-M4 MCU and an OV9650 sensor, it's currently capable of doing face detection at 25FPS, color tracking at 30FPS+ and has USART interfae and USB-OTG support for debugging and firmware update. This repo contains the hardware resources, drivers, image processing and userspace code.

And for arduino users

ArduCAM Shiled



Incorporating standard SPI slave interface
Reduced IOs consumption, only 4 IOs for SPI, 2 IOs for I2C and 1 IO for SD are required
All IOs are 5V and 3.3V tolerant
Support all Arduino families including Arduino DUE
Can be easily ported to any platforms which have SPI port like Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, BeagleBone, pcDuino and etc
Support 1080p still JPEG image capture
Provide low power mode, reduce power consumption and prolong battery life
Well mate with Arudino UNO R3, MEGA2560 R3, Leonardo R3 and DUE boards

Can be easily ported to any platforms which have SPI port like Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, BeagleBone, pcDuino.

There is also the option of getting a miniature embedded android/linux, linking a webcam and running opencv.
Alternatively there's RoboRealm which offloads the processing to a remote Windows PC. The embedded linux only needs to send image frames over wifi.
It all depends on the image processing requirements
