range estimation

Range estimation is the process of determining the distance between a device and an object or target. It often uses signals such as radio waves, sound, or light to measure how long it takes for the signal to travel to the target and back. By calculating this travel time and knowing the speed of the signal, the system can estimate how far away the object is. This technique is widely used in navigation, radar, lidar, and other sensing systems to assess distances accurately for various applications.
