lookahead time
The concept of "lookahead time" is essential for optimizing performance in various fields, from computing to audio processing and vehicle systems.
Definition
C1Computing and Algorithms
(technical, academic)The period during which a process or algorithm analyzes future data or events to optimize performance.
Example
- The algorithm uses lookahead time to anticipate data and improve efficiency.
- In computing, lookahead time helps in avoiding potential bottlenecks.
C1Physics
(technical, academic)The elapsed period for a subject to reach a specified point.
Example
- Researchers measured the lookahead time for particles in the experiment.
B2Audio Processing
(technical, specialized)The delay period used by audio algorithms to anticipate and react to upcoming peaks or transients in the signal.
Example
- The compressor's lookahead time ensures a smooth and distortion-free audio output.
C1Vehicle Systems
(technical, specialized)The time it takes for a vehicle to react to events ahead, measured by the distance to the farthest point on the current lane.
Example
- The car's autonomous system uses lookahead time to improve safety and navigation.
