Yes, this sounds like a perfect use case for the BeagleBone Black, a webcam, and OpenCV. Take a look at this: http://derekmolloy.ie/beaglebone/beaglebone-video-capture-and-image-processing-on-embedded-linux-using-opencv/
A few things to consider: -Depending on the duration and resolution of the video, you may need to hook up something like an external HD or high-capacity SD card to store everything. The BBB Rev C only has 4GB out-the-box, which is shared with the operating system. -The BBB has a 1GHz processor, which could have trouble performing computer vision algorithms in real-time. You may need to write the video straight to disk, then have a separate process perform the algorithms on the recorded video.
