Raspberry Pi's do have the power to scan for things in an image, such as a color or logo. You could use this thing mabye to adjust its descent, such as landing back at your launch pad or another location...
 
Has your RasPi arrived and been incorporating into your avionics bay yet? I'm just curious about how useful this has (or will)
become and how you are using your Rasberry Pi device.

They do appear hard to incorporate into AV bays. The problem is that they are quite wide. More than that, the plug interfaces are on the sides, making them wider still.

The Pi: 3.37 inches (h) 2.13 inches (w) 0.67 inches (d); Weight 1.59 ounces

It seems like it could fit into a 4" and up diameter rocket.
 
The model A+ may tip the scales. I'm figuring that the smaller size and lower power requirements could make for a cool flight computer. Add GPS and an IMU and this could be sweet
 
An A+ and the sense hat? IMU, barometer, joystick and LED matrix. Missing a way to do GPS though. A model B+ and sense hat will fly to the ISS this Dec with any luck.
