It is a important task for imaging scheduling to acquire more image data of good quality by making rational and efficient use of the remote sensing satellite. To solve this problem a scheme is presented, which includes building satellite imaging time ordered acyclic directed graph, evaluating different imaging path according to multicriteria, and obtaining the optimal imaging path with time ordered multicriteria shortest path algorithm. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that by using the scheme, multiple optimal pareto paths can be obtained within acceptable time, and better scheduling can be guaranteed.
