Priority-based constructive algorithms for scheduling agile earth observation satellites with total priority maximization
作者：
Highlights：
• We study an Earth observation scheduling problem from China’s satellite platform.
• We develop priority-based indicators based on a cost-benefit analysis method.
• We employ a sequential construction procedure to generate feasible solutions.
• We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms in various scenarios.
