Evaluation of Passive Ranging performance on the DARPA Invisible Headlights dataset, specifically focusing on the Background forest patch subset using 20x40 representative patches. Metrics include Mean, Standard Deviation, and Median Distance.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Passive Ranging |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | DARPA Invisible Headlights Background forest patch (20 x 40 representative patch) |
| Metric | Mean Distance |
| Unit | OTHER |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 4 of 4 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Mean Distance](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/passive-ranging-on-darpa-invisible-headlights-background-forest-patch-20-x-40-representative-patch.md?metric=Mean%20Distance>): Lower is better; unit: OTHER.

- [Distance Std Dev](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/passive-ranging-on-darpa-invisible-headlights-background-forest-patch-20-x-40-representative-patch.md?metric=Distance%20Std%20Dev>): Lower is better; unit: OTHER.

- [Median Distance](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/passive-ranging-on-darpa-invisible-headlights-background-forest-patch-20-x-40-representative-patch.md?metric=Median%20Distance>): Lower is better; unit: OTHER.
