Obstacle detection and target tracking are two major issues for autonomous vehicles, and Mars Rovers require this technology to ensure safe driving on the surface of the Red Planet. Developing and early-stage obstacle avoidance using OpenCV required dozens of hours: the system's pre-requirements were mainly focussed on a simple, reliable solution that could be adjusted easily side by side with the evolution of the Mimas prototype. At the end of this session, an acceptable design was reached.
