Abstract
- Over the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of Earth observation satellites, and the area of ground targets requiring observation has also been expanding. To effectively utilize the capabilities of these satellites and capture larger areas of ground targets, it has become essential to plan imaging tasks for large regional coverage using multiple satellites. First, we establish a 0-1 integer programming model to accurately describe the problem and analyze the challenges associated with solving the model. Second, we propose a heuristic algorithm based on the triple grids method. This approach utilizes a generated grid to create fewer candidate strips, a calculation grid to determine the effective coverage area more accurately, and a refined grid to solve the issue of repeated coverage of strips. Furthermore, we employ an approximation algorithm to further improve the solutions obtained from the heuristic algorithm. By comparing the proposed method to the traditional greedy heuristic algorithm and three evolutionary algorithms, the results show that our method has better performance in terms of coverage and efficiency.
