Echo and noise is one of the critical disturbances that alter the quality of radar images. To reduce the echo and noise in radar images we used adaptive Kalman filter. For radar image enhancement, denoising and echo cancellation are need of the system. In this paper an adaptive Kalman filter based model is proposed to reduce the echo and noise in radar images. The Kalman filter is compared with different parameters. Form experimental results the new proposed adaptive Kalman filter based model gives promising results for echo cancellation and denoising of radar images.
