Mesh Dispatching for Area Coverage using Several Earth Observation Systems
Résumé
In this paper, we consider area coverage requests that can be fulfilled using a set of Earth observation systems, where each system disposes of its own satellites and its own mission center. The approach proposed involves a federation layer that dispatches meshes of various sizes to the different systems in a seamless way for the end-users. The dispatch strategy is optimized based on heuristic search and large neighborhood search. Weather and system workload uncertainties being hard to estimate, re-dispatch operations are also used to re-optimize the allocation of meshes to systems depending on the current progress. Experiments are performed on scenarios where the goal is to collect images over countries covering up to hundreds of thousands square kilometers, such as France.
