A method may include generating a mapping that includes entries. Each entry may associate a respective detection result of a first detection device with a respective detection result of a second detection device. The method may further include transitioning the second detection device to a first power mode upon completing the generating. The method may further include determining, by the first detection device, that a first object of a first object type is detected based on the mapping. The method may further include transitioning the second detection device out of the first power mode when the first object of the first object type is determined to be detected. The method may further include performing, by the second detection device, at least one action based on the first object. Related systems and devices are also disclosed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: generating a mapping that comprises a plurality of entries, wherein each of the plurality of entries associates a respective detection result of a first detection device with a respective detection result of a second detection device;
