用学习方法优化卫星采样,提升地球观测科学价值。

Learning-Based Planning for Improving Science Return of Earth Observation Satellites

  • 用强化与模仿学习规划卫星采样路径,替代传统启发式方法。
  • 模仿学习比最优启发式方法平均提升10.0%,强化学习提升13.7%。
  • 少量数据即可有效训练,适合资源受限的卫星系统。

地球观测卫星是获取地球科学信息的重要工具,但其存在难以偏离轨道、传感器视场有限、指向与操作耗能大等限制。为提升科学数据价值,需优化采集内容,仅保留关键信息。动态目标选择是一种新思路,利用前瞻仪器资源智能调整主传感器的观测位置。仿真表明该方法可显著提升科学信息量。本文提出两种基于学习的动态目标选择方法:强化学习与模仿学习,均建立在动态规划基础上,用于规划采样序列。实验对比现有启发式方法,结果显示模仿学习平均性能优于最佳启发式方法10.0%,强化学习提升13.7%。此外,两种学习方法均可在小样本下有效训练。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Earth observing satellites are powerful tools for collecting scientific information about our planet, however they have limitations: they cannot easily deviate from their orbital trajectories, their sensors have a limited field of view, and pointing and operating these sensors can take a large amount of the spacecraft's resources. It is important for these satellites to optimize the data they collect and include only the most important or informative measurements. Dynamic targeting is an emerging concept in which satellite resources and data from a lookahead instrument are used to intelligently reconfigure and point a primary instrument. Simulation studies have shown that dynamic targeting increases the amount of scientific information gathered versus conventional sampling strategies. In this work, we present two different learning-based approaches to dynamic targeting, using reinforcement and imitation learning, respectively. These learning methods build on a dynamic programming solution to plan a sequence of sampling locations. We evaluate our approaches against existing heuristic methods for dynamic targeting, showing the benefits of using learning for this application. Imitation learning performs on average 10.0\% better than the best heuristic method, while reinforcement learning performs on average 13.7\% better. We also show that both learning methods can be trained effectively with small amounts of data.
