Distributed camera system utilizing named queues

1. A system comprising:

a plurality of sensor nodes, each sensor node comprising a sensor node camera and a sensor node processor, the plurality of sensor nodes interconnected via a wide area network;

a master controller operable to establish a plurality of named queues, each of the plurality of named queues associated with a proximate physical object in an area comprising one or more of the plurality of sensor nodes and detectable by the sensor node camera; and

each sensor node operable to cause the sensor node processor to:

identify a viewed physical object in a feed from the sensor node camera; and

associate the viewed physical object with one of the plurality of named queues.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the master controller operable to establish a master queue comprising a description of the proximate physical object.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the plurality of sensor nodes each comprising map/reduce logic.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the plurality of sensor nodes each comprising a manifest of components; and

the master controller comprising logic to allocate tasks to each of the plurality of sensor nodes according to a respective manifest of components for each of the plurality of sensor nodes.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the plurality of sensor nodes arranged in a redundant configuration for overlapping camera coverage and each of the plurality of sensor nodes further comprising a plurality normal focus cameras each with at least 120 degree field of view.
