Abstract EN

The detection of short optical transients of astrophysical origin in real time is an important task for existing robotic telescopes.

The faster a new optical transient is detected, the earlier follow-up observations can be started.

The sooner the object is identified, the more data can be collected before the source fades away, particularly in the most interesting early period of the transient.

In this the real-time pipeline designed for identification of optical flashes with the “Pi of the Sky” project will be presented in detail together with solutions used by other experiments.
