retracking
Covering ground twice
Retracking is following a path or route again, or adjusting course to return to an intended trajectory.
In satellite technology, retracking refers to specialized algorithms that reprocess radar signals to improve accuracy over challenging surfaces like ice or coastlines: The team used retracking techniques to measure ice sheet changes.
More generally, it can mean revisiting earlier steps or reconsidering a previous approach.
