Abstract
A first optical marker contained in a first image captured by an image capture device of a delivery drone can be identified, the first optical marker indicating a first cargo recipient. Responsive to identifying the first optical marker contained in the first image, first data corresponding to the first optical marker can be generated by performing image processing on the first image. Responsive to the generating the first data corresponding to the first optical marker, a first specific location at a general location can be determined by processing the first data. The first optical marker can indicate the first specific location and the first specific location can be different than a second specific location where the first optical marker is positioned at the general location. The delivery drone can be initiated to deliver the cargo at the first specific location indicated by the first optical marker.
