1. A control system for an object detection system for an agricultural machine, the control system comprising one or more controllers, and being configured to:
receive image data from one or more imaging sensors associated with the agricultural machine;
analyze the image data utilizing first and second detection models to classify, for one or both models, an object within the environment of the agricultural machine;
determine a classification metric for the object indicative of an overlap associated with the classification obtained for each of the models for the object; and
determine an identity for the object in dependence on the classification metric and the classification obtained for the first and/or second models;
wherein the control system is configured to:
control operation of one or more operable components associated with the agricultural machine in dependence on the determined identity; and
compare the classification metric with a threshold value.
