Abstract
With the increasing demand for earth observation in various fields, remote satellites play an important role in ground information assurance. Apparently, the effective scheduling and utilization of multi-satellite resources determine the quality and efficiency of information acquisition. In this paper, focusing on the problem of centralized multi-satellite scheduling, we establish a mathematical model of satellite scheduling with complex constraints of load and platform operation. We also propose a real-coding Population Incremental Based Learning (PBIL) algorithm to solve the multi-satellite scheduling problem. The real-coding format can greatly shorten the coding length compared to the traditional PBIL algorithm with binary coding so that the computational efficiency is improved. Additionally, we design a value probability matrix, correction coefficient and mutation operator to guide better evolution and avoid early convergence. Finally, we take some numerical examples to verify the real-coding PBIL algorithm for multi-satellite scheduling. The performance of the algorithm is analyzed by comparing it with binary-coding PBIL and the Genetic Algorithm (GA). Additionally, the influence of key parameters on algorithm performance, such as probability correction coefficient, is also analyzed.
