Agile Earth Observation Satellites (AEOSs), with their maneuverability, can flexibly observe point, line and region targets. However, existing research typically requires distinct algorithms for each target type, lacking a unified modeling and solution framework, which hinders the ability to meet the demands of rapid and coordinated observation of multiple target types in complex scenarios. To address these issues, this paper proposes a unified scheduling model for agile Earth observation satellites based on the Degenerate Quadtree Grid (DQG) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), termed AEOSSP-USM. Firstly, the DQG is first employed to enable unified management and integrated modeling of point, line, and area targets; Secondly, traditional time window calculations based on longitude and latitude are replaced with grid code-based computations using DQG; Finally, the PPO algorithm, a deep reinforcement learning method, is introduced to formulate AEOSSP-USM as a Markov Decision Process (MDP), enabling efficient problem solving. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively realizes unified scheduling of heterogeneous targets, improving imaging quality about 3 times, reducing energy consumption by 10%, decreasing memory usage more than 90%, and enhancing computational efficiency by 35 times compared to conventional longitude-latitude strip algorithm.
