A Hybrid Discrete Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Imaging Satellite Mission Planning

Imaging satellite mission planning has received more and attention as one of the core problems in field imaging applications. In this paper, a hybrid discrete artificial bee colony (HDABC) algorithm is proposed to address problem. The HDABC improves three search phases basic (ABC) make them applicable employed phase, population divided multi-strategy equation mechanism used balance exploration development algorithm. following two kinds neighborhood operators are designed based on problem characteristics further improve fitness values better solutions. scout migration operator an immigration introduced worse solutions promote exchange different subpopulations achieve co-evolution. experimental part, orthogonal design determine appropriate parameters. Simulation experiments carried out test sizes. results show that shows good performance.
