1. Method for controlling a vehicle operating during a dynamic vehicle event, the method comprising: monitoring a first input image; determining within the first input image a first tracked object; monitoring the first tracked object within the first input image in a first tracking cycle; determining a position within the first input image of the first tracked object; defining features within the first input image proximate to the first tracked object; determining a first label describing a likely classification of the first tracked object; monitoring a second input image; determining within the second input image a second tracked object; monitoring the second tracked object within the second input image in a second tracking cycle; determining a position within the second input image of the second tracked object; defining features within the second input image proximate to the second tracked object; determining a second label describing a likely classification of the second tracked object; determining a dissimilarity measure comparing the positions of each of the first and second tracked objects, the features proximate to each of the first and second tracked objects, and the first and second labels, the dissimilarity measure estimating whether the first tracked object and the second tracked object represent a single tracked object proximate to the vehicle; associating the first tracked object and the second tracked object based upon the dissimilarity measure; and utilizing the associated objects in a collision preparation system to control operation of the vehicle.
