In this work we will present the first results of the previously developed streaks detection algorithm in astronomical images, after its installation in the processing pipeline of the Tomo-e Camera of the 1M Telescope at Kiso Observatory. We developed an improved version of this algorithm, now capable to process images in real-time, that is, faster than the image are produced, through an heterogeneous computing paradigm. For the firsts tests, we used a 64 CPU cores with 2 Nvidia RTX A6000 GPUs machine to process half of the Tomo-e camera full frame, which will be installed during September 2022. The system is capable to automatically detect non-catalogued objects in LEO that are imprinted as streaks in astronomical images, down to an apparent magnitude of ~11.3. In this work we will explain the working principle of the detection system, based in a variation of the so-called stacking method, previously developed by some of the authors of the present work. We will also describe the heterogeneous computing architecture capable to reach real-time performance and we will present the results of the first observation campaign that will be carried out after its installation during September 2022.
