1. Method for controlling a vehicle operating during a dynamic vehicle event, the method comprising: monitoring a first input image; monitoring a first tracked object within the first input image in a first tracking cycle; monitoring a second input image; monitoring a second tracked object within the second input image in a second tracking cycle; determining a dissimilarity measure comparing the first tracked object to the second tracked object, 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.
