I would think that processing video data this quickly is generally beyond
the capabilities of a microcontroller, particularly in rejecting false
markings and all that.  Maybe if you had a PIC dedicated to just watching
some sort of very low res / high refresh rate camera communicating with
another PIC you _might_ be able to do it safely.

The speed involved seems to be radically swift, I sure hope humans aren't
allowed near these things in operation.
