      NameAdvantageDisadvantage
      1Graz echo identfying algorithmHuman machine interface, simple to operateLow detection rates for high-orbit sateliltes
      2SLR2000 correlation algorithmHighly flexible and efficient for dealing massive observation data Sensitive to the range window and low automation
      3N/M algorithmMore adaptive, especially for low S/N ratioComplicated calculation and poor real-time performance
