To improve the cross-range resolution of three-dimensional (3-D) images obtained along the direction of movement by Multiple-Input Mmultiple-Output (MIMO) radar, a novel MIMO-ISAR 3-D imaging method that combines multi-snapshot images is proposed. This method integrates multiple single-snapshot 3-D images acquired by a planar antenna array during a specific period of observation and extracts the peak slice along the linear fitting direction of the scatterers to construct a new 3-D image. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method significantly improves the cross-range resolution of the imaging results along the direction of movement compared with other methods based on single-snapshot 3-D images. Additionally, compared with the classical MIMO-ISAR method based on rearrangement and interpolation, this method is suitable for both fast-moving and slow-moving targets. Moreover, the imaging results are well focused and the side lobes along the direction of movement are effectively suppressed.
