This paper describes an information gathering system at the time of a disaster using a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Small UAVs are highly portable, have a low operational cost, and can be operated safely in comparison to manned airplanes. The object tracking system which can effectively gather the information is demand for small UAVs. This system is developed by installing the gimbals camera with two degree of freedom in the small UAV. The particle filter which uses color information on the aerial movie is developed to track the object in realtime processing. This system is evaluated by the ground experiments, and it is confirmed that the proposed system is effective in the object tracking for gathering disaster information.
