Evaluation of Passive Ranging performance on the DARPA Invisible Headlights Grass dataset, specifically using 20x40 representative patches, measured by Mean, Median, and Standard Deviation 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 Grass (20 x 40 representative patch) |
| Metric | Mean Distance (m) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 5 of 5 |
| 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 (m)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/passive-ranging-on-darpa-invisible-headlights-grass-20-x-40-representative-patch.md?metric=Mean%20Distance%20(m)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

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

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