Abstract

See full text

A method includes capturing, by a sensor on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), an image of a delivery location. The method further includes determining, based on the image of the delivery location, a segmentation image. The segmentation image segments the delivery location into a plurality of pixel areas with corresponding semantic classifications. The method also includes determining, based on the segmentation image, a distance-to-obstacle image of a delivery zone at the delivery location. The distance-to-obstacle image comprises a plurality of pixels, each pixel representing a distance in the segmentation image from a nearest pixel area with a semantic classification indicative of an obstacle in the delivery location. Additionally, the method includes selecting, based on the distance-to-obstacle image, a delivery point in the delivery zone. The method also includes positioning the UAV above the delivery point in the delivery zone for delivery of a payload.
