Abstract
Cyclops is a distributed real-time vision system. It is "real-time" as for most vision tasks, it can be configured with enough processing nodes as to allow an update rate of 60 Hz with a maximum latency of 1/30s. This allows the system to be used directly as a feedback sensor for motion control. Even though Cyclops was built originally for tracking objects in 3D at 60Hz, it offers great flexibility. It can be configured to attack many vision tasks at much higher rates than was previously possible with systems that are up to an order of magnitude more expensive.
