1. An optical safety system, comprising: a memory that stores executable instructions; and a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that executes or facilitates execution of the executable instructions to at least: capture image data representing an industrial area; classify a first object represented in the image data as industrial equipment and a second object represented in the image data as a human based on a first result of a first type of analysis performed on a first subset of pixels of the image data and a second result of a second type of analysis performed on a second subset of the pixels; correlate the first result and the second result to yield correlated information relating to a relationship between the human and the industrial equipment; and control an output signal that controls the industrial equipment based on the correlated information.
