Abstract The paper offers new application of a Multi-channel Forward Scatter Radar (MFSR), which uses GPS signals for detection of air targets on their GPS radio shadows. The multi-channel GPS MFSR detector consists of several channels, which process information from several satellites simultaneously. The phenomena of diffraction in the near area is used for shadow target detection. The target is considered to be detected, if it is detected at least in one of detector channels. Two experiments have been made to verify the proposed detection algorithm. The results obtained show that the proposed multi-channel detection algorithm can be successfully used for detection of low-flying air targets at very short distances or the near area of diffraction. Such targets are undetectable in GPS bistatic radar.

In target detection, “hole” phenomenon is present in the detection result, and the shadow is difficult to remove. To solve these problems, we propose a target detection algorithm based on principle of connectivity and texture gradient. Firstly, we use the connectivity principle to find the largest target prospects connection area to get a complete target contour, secondly we use target texture gradient information to further remove the shadow of the target. At last, the experimental results show that the algorithm can obtain a clear target profile and improve the accuracy of the moving target segmentation.
