1. A method for performing collision detection, comprising:
- detecting an object within a first operational range of an object tracker;
determining a classification of said object using said object tracker;
tracking said object using said object tracker;
detecting said object within a second operational range of a collision detector; and
activating a safety measure based on said classification using said collision detector.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing collision detection is described. An object is detected within a first operational range of an object tracker. A classification of the object is determined using the object tracker. The object tracker tracks the object. The object is detected within a second operational range of a collision detector. A safety measure is activated based on the classification using the collision detector.
