In this letter, considering the inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging of nonuniformly rotating targets under a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment, an effective ISAR imaging algorithm based on the coherently integrated nonuniform trilinear autocorrelation function (CINTAF) is proposed. Because the definition of a nonuniform trilinear autocorrelation function (NTAF) which enables a coherent accumulation of the signal energy in both the time and lag-time domains, the proposed method has a significant antinoise performance improvement in comparison with other algorithms, while the computational complexity remains similar. The effectiveness and superiority of this new method have been demonstrated through several simulation results.
