First approach to image stacking using a Single-Board Computer - A small study of strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats

Since the appearance in the market, low-cost computers (SBC) are used for the most diverse tasks: from personal scale projects to clusters for data processing or web servers. However, until now there have been few applications of a SBC aimed at stacking and postprocessing of images.The following work details the approach, the analysis and the tests carried out on the third generation of one of the most popular SBCs, the Raspberry Pi, in order to evaluate its performance in the image stacking processing, using a customized software, developed specifically for this study.
