Abstract
For the drone that is active in a wide search area, the time to grasp the target in the field of applications such as searching for emergency patients, monitoring of natural disasters requiring prompt warning and response, that is, the speediness of target detection is very important. In the actual operation of drone, the time for target detection is highly related to collaboration between drones and search algorithm to efficiently search the navigation area. In this research, we will provide a search method with cooperation of drone based on target existence probability to solve the problem of quickness in drone target search. In particular, the proposed method increases the probability of finding a target and shorten the search time by transmitting high-altitude drone search results to a low-altitude drone after searching first and performing more precise search. We verify the performance of the proposed method through several simulations.
