1. Do you think my milestone is reasonable given my โflawsโ?
Sorry, but it is really impossible for us to answer. We do not know your commitment, previous programming experience, talent or time, ...
2. To start Milestone 1, can you give some materials that I can study? I prefer online materials.
I would start by implementing something with OpenCV (there are quite a few tutorials on the network). This should make your future goals more realistic (not reinvent the wheel).
There are different .NET bindings, for example. Emgu CV or OpenCVdotnet or ... (I can not comment on the quality of these bindings).
