1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising processor-executable routines that, when executed by a processor, facilitate a performance of operations, the operations comprising:
determining a position of a target value reflected from an object relative to a first range area defined for a vehicle and a second range area defined for the vehicle; and
generating a confidence value for a position of the object relative to the vehicle based on the position of the target value relative to the first range area and the second range area, wherein:
the confidence value is a first confidence value when the position of the target value is determined to be within the first range area and within the second range area;
the confidence value is a second confidence value lower than the first confidence value when the position of the target value is determined to be outside of the first range area and within the second range area; and
the confidence value is a third confidence value when the position of the target value is determined to be outside of the first range area and outside of the second range area.
