This article presents a framework for searching, detecting, and tracking an object of interest with a small unmanned aerial vehicle (sUAV). The vehicle is given an area to search for an object of interest. Once the object is detected, the sUAV follows the target while maintaining a fixed distance and centered on its image plane. This paper describes an architecture for integrating autonomy capabilities for search and track for sUAVs. The system has been implemented in the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework using the Parrot ARDrone platform. In this paper we present our technical approach, the system architecture and demonstrate the principles of the approach in a simulation environment and indoor flight tests.
