Android image processing Vehicle robot trajectory tracking

I am working on something kinda like that. I am using the IOIO board to control the motors and plan on using range sensors to detect objects in front of my rover. I have the rover working over Wifi and just finished streaming images back to my tablet from the phones camera.

Link to my Rover Video.

I would love to hear what your using and what you have done. I am looking into multi threading now to speed up my video stream.

I am thinking of using three Proximity Sensors to determine the open path to take when my car comes to an object. See attached Img.

hello friend, I suggest you to use ultrasounic modul. it better than infrared sensor because it can detect longer than infrared sensor which can use only less than 30cm. But the problem still have when our object is not reflectable object sound and light or this object is small. I think may be image reconize can help us. But who can help us to do it?
