Star-Searcher plans aerial searches that explore unknown space while inspecting occupied surfaces from camera-suitable viewpoints. It tracks uninspected surfaces, groups visible viewpoints, and uses route history to stabilize regional order as maps change. In five SubT simulation runs, it averaged 153.36 s and 191.65 m, recognizing all planted AprilTags; these results do not guarantee detection of arbitrary real-world targets.
