+## Goal
+
+Automatic, real-time detection of fast high-flying objects (planes, drones) using
+multiple Pi cameras and a GLES motion shader. Objects moving in straight lines or
+smooth curves are kept; everything else is filtered out.
+
+Each node scans the sky, detects motion, extracts a vertex line from the diff frame,
+timestamps it via GPS, and transmits the minimal payload over LoRa.
+The central device is also a Pi camera node running the same base pipeline, with
+additional functionality for receiving LoRa packets from other nodes, fusing
+sightlines, and saving combined results locally.
+
+## Status
+
+The examples are all individually working. Final integration (camera → shader → math →
+LoRa) is the next step.
