Traditional imaging approaches are very demanding in terms of computing time; then, the implementation of an automatic vision and decision software architecture is presented. It allows to perform an on-line discrimination of interesting events by using two levels of triggers. A fundamental challenge was to work with very large CCD camera (even 16k*16k pixels) in line with very large telescopes. Then, the architecture can use a distributed parallel network system based on a maximum of 256 standard workstations.3 pages, 9 figures, Proceeding of NIWEEK 2002 (sponsored by National Instruments), Austin (Usa), 2002Computer Vision and Pattern RecognitionAstrophysicsDistributed, Parallel, and Cluster ComputingI.4,I.5text
