Abstract: In order to deal with the dense imaging takes of observation satellite, this paper proposes an autonomous aggregation method for imaging tasks of observation satellite based on intelligent clustering. By using DBSCAN intelligent clustering method, the original tasks are clustered into multiple dense subtask sets. The aggregation type of dense subtask set is determined according to the task density, and then the dense scattered tasks are aggregated into multiple strip observation tasks or regional observation tasks. The performance of observation satellite is greatly improved. Finally, a simulation experiment is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
