1. A system for controlling movement of a vehicle having a path of movement and detecting an object in the path of movement of the vehicle, the vehicle having an electronic control system to control the directional movement and speed of the vehicle, the system comprising:
a camera system mounted on the vehicle and configured to generate image signals of terrain within the vehicle path of movement of the vehicle;
a radar system mounted on the vehicle and configured to generate distance signals to an object in the terrain;
a processor coupled to the camera system, to the radar system, and to the electronic control system of the vehicle, the processor structured to determine a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the object in the path of movement of the vehicle and to generate control signals to the electronic control system to alter the directional movement of the vehicle or the speed of the vehicle or both so that the object is no longer in the path of movement of the vehicle, the processor comprising multiple GPU rasters in a series data processing configuration that are configured to utilize a hypotenuse processing function for drawing lines from pixel to moving entity center (MEC) or from macro cell center to MEC, and a detector configured to test for raster frame lock between the multiple GPU rasters.
