Explanation:
I have found a term used in animation, video games, etc. called "collision detection" (perhaps it could be the same thing since "hit" and "collision/collide" are synonymous).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_detection

Collision detection

In physical simulations, video games and computational geometry, collision detection involves algorithms for checking for collision, i.e. intersection, of two given solids. Simulating what happens once a collision is detected is sometimes referred to as "collision response" (see collision response, physics engine and ragdoll physics). Collision detection algorithms are a basic component of 3D and 2D video games. Without them, characters could go through walls and other obstacles.

Here is the Japanese version:

衝突判定
出典: フリー百科事典『ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』
衝突判定（しょうとつはんてい、Collision Detection）とは、ビデオゲームや物理シミュレーション、計算幾何学などの分野において、ある物体が別の物体に当たったか（衝突したか）どうかを判定するプログラム処理のこと。
当たり判定と呼ばれることもあるが、この語はゲーム用語としての使われ方が主。詳細は当たり判定の項目を参照。

I have found a website (see below) about "collision detection" that uses the words "Hit Detection" as a heading. It's a very interesting website about computer game developing, etc.

Early Hit Detection

...It did speed up the “detection of a hit” between two objects, but this had a negligible effect on the speed of the game as a whole, for one simple reason: objects almost never collide with each other. For example, suppose you throw a big rock at your friend's face. The rock will travel toward your friend for some time, with little computation being performed because of culling by the early collision filters.
