Catalina and ViewPort

I want to write code for my Prop chip in C (actually, I will probably write it in something else and convert it to C), so I downloaded Catalina last night. However, I also want to make use of the image processing capabilities of ViewPort (although I'm not totally sure if it can do what I need it to do - onboard processing of still images without a computer). I need to know if there is either:
a) a way to implement ViewPort in my C code that is compiled in Catalina
b) a SPIN file that Catalina spits out that I can edit to make work with ViewPort
In my research so far today I haven't really been able to determine if I can load code onto a cog on my Prop chip from ViewPort to do the still image processing I need to do. I want to take a picture with a b/w camera and then compare it to an image stored in memory on the board. I'm planning to (try to) write code (which will be converted to C) to compare the images and determine differences and output some data based on those differences, but I need to make sure that the Prop chip will be able to handle this. I'll only be comparing spots on a solid background, so it's not too intense. What do I need from ViewPort to make sure the Prop chip can do this? I need it to all run directly on the board through the Prop chip and access a memory chip that has the stored images to compare to. Like I said, the way I plan to implement this is to write the code and convert it to C and use Catalina to compile.
Thanks.
