SEARCH ASSISTANCE SYSTEM USING FLYING OBJECT

To provide a search assistance system using a flying object, which can find a person to be searched.SOLUTION: The search assistance system comprises: a drone 10 equipped with a communication machine 50 and cameras 25 and 26; a detection unit 27 that detects a person P to be searched on the basis of photographed images of the cameras 25 and 26; and a control unit 33 that controls the cameras 25 and 26, the communication machine 50, and the drone 10. The control unit 33 causes the drone 10 to fly to a search region of the person P to be searched and the cameras 25 and 26 to photograph images of the search region. The detection unit 27 determines, upon recognition of predetermined specific information from the photographed images of the cameras 25 and 26, that the person P is present in a place where the specific information has been detected. The communication machine 50 transmits position information about the place where the person P to be searched has been detected by the detection unit 27 to a search station 100 on the basis of an instruction from the control unit 33.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】捜索対象者を迅速に発見することができる飛行体を用いた捜索支援システムを提供すること。【解決手段】通信機５０とカメラ２５，２６とを備えるドローン１０と、カメラ２５，２６の撮影画像に基づき捜索対象者Ｐを検出する検出部２７と、カメラ２５，２６、通信機５０、及びドローン１０を制御する制御部３３と、を有し、制御部３３は、ドローン１０を捜索対象者Ｐの捜索領域に飛行させて、カメラ２５，２６に捜索領域の画像を撮影させ、検出部２７は、カメラ２５，２６の撮影画像から予め決められた特定の情報を認識すると、特定の情報が検出された場所に捜索対象者Ｐが生存していると判断し、通信機５０は、制御部３３からの指示に基づき、検出部２７により捜索対象者Ｐが検出された場所の位置情報を捜索本部１００へ送信する。【選択図】図１
