Abstract :
In this paper, we describe a PC cluster system for real-time computer vision. For easy construction of real-time distributed computer vision on PC cluster, we have developed a programming environment, in which a programmer have to describe only data flow between PCs and processing algorithms on each PC. And we also describe a real-time human motion capture system using multiple cameras as a prototypical application on the PC cluster system, which shows that the system works in real-time
