Abstract

The subject of the study is multi-cycle remote sensing systems, particularly, the optimal multi-cycle remote sensing systems based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Analysis and synthesis of a multi-cycle remote sensing mode is being realized by measuring equipment installed on the UAV. Two optimization problems are considered and solved. In the first problem, measurement cycles in the number of n differ in the fact that the flight altitude in every cycle is different, and the problem of determining the optimal relationship between the flight altitude and the cycle duration is being set. The second optimization problem envisages computing the optimal dependence of the cycle duration on the length of the distance traveled during one cycle.

As the result of solving the first problem, the author shows that a specially formed functional of the target, called the «UAV flight area», will reach its minimum if the flight altitude is decreasing so far as the duration of the measurement cycle is increasing. The result of the second problem solution reveals the amount of information obtained in multi-cycle mode reaches its maximum value given a direct interrelation between the said indicators.

The results obtained in this work may be applied while the development and application of remote sensing systems, based on the unmanned aerial vehicles, operating in a multi-cycle mode.

The main inference of the study consists in the fact that remote sensing systems operating in multi-cycle mode may be optimized by various criteria. The optimization criterion selection herewith depends on the purpose set for the concrete realization of the remote sensing system based on the UAV.
