OPTICAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM TO LAND AN AERIAL VEHICLE

Abstract: aerial navigation is disclosed. a system can receive, via a camera coupled to the aerial vehicle, image frames of a platform. the system can generate, via a first model trained with machine learning on reference patterns, a feature map that identifies a predetermined pattern. the system can input, responsive to recognition of the predetermined pattern, a feature map generated by the first model into a second model trained with machine learning on slope-intercept functions. the system can determine, based on an offset of the zone in the image frame and the orientation of the aerial vehicle relative to the zone, a vector between the aerial vehicle and the zone. the system can provide for display, via a display device communicatively coupled to the computing system, an indication of the vector overlayed on a digital representation of the image frame.
