I'm looking to implement an algorithm for a project that can tell me if an object is present or not. this algorithm is fairly simple as far as vision algorithms go. all i need is a boolean condition returned to be to indicate if there is an object obstructing my vehicle's path. if there is, i need to turn. if there is not, i do not need to turn. obviously there needs to be some mechanism to ignore objects that are far away and deal with them later..
what should i research? i need some terms to look up.
thanks!
edit: i am also interested in reviewing any suggestions on how to tackle the problem without A.I. There are some constraints: it will have to be an optical means of obstruction detection, and probably will have to be infrared since it is underwater.
