Abstract
In some embodiments, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is provided. The UAV comprises one or more processors; a camera; one or more propulsion devices; and a computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the one or more processors, cause the UAV to perform actions comprising: receiving at least one image captured by the camera; generating labels for pixels of the at least one image by providing the at least one image as input to a machine learning model; identifying one or more landing spaces in the at least one image based on the labels; determining a relative position of the UAV with respect to the one or more landing spaces; and transmitting signals to the one or more propulsion devices based on the relative position of the UAV with respect to the one or more landing spaces.
