Novel adaptive robust filtering algorithms applicable to radar image processing are proposed. They take into consideration the peculiarities of radar images and possess a good combination of properties: effective speckle suppression, impulsive noise removal, edge and detail preservation and low computational complexity. The advantages of these digital algorithms are demonstrated by simulated
data and images obtained by airborne side-look non SAR radar.
