ROS Navigation
Dumb or not, is it possible to communicate to a Computer running ROS using MAVlink and Qcontrol to designate waypoints? Is it also possible to alter the course through computer vision?

You need a little punctuation to make your question clear.
Theoretically, you could have a ground station running QGroundControl communicate to a mobile computer running ROS and serial_mavlink_ros
Unfortunately, the message that comes out of serial_mavlink_ros is a MAVLINK packet wrapped in a ROS message, so you'd probably need to write your own node to decode it and listen for waypoint commands.
I don't understand your question about computer vision. In general, computer vision is very difficult, particularly if you're operating in an outdoor environment. I doubt that it's possible to replace an IMU with a camera.
