A system for unmanned aerial vehicle alignment including: an image sensor, configured to obtain an image of unmanned aerial vehicles and provide to a processor image data corresponding to the obtained image, the processor, configured to determine from the image data image positions of the unmanned aerial vehicles, determine an average position of the unmanned aerial vehicles relative to a first axis based on the image positions, determine an average line that extends along a second axis through the average position, wherein the first and second axes are perpendicular to each other, determine a target position of one of the unmanned aerial vehicles based on a relationship between its respective image position and a target alignment, and determine an adjustment instruction to direct said one of the unmanned aerial vehicles toward the target position, and provide the adjustment instruction to said one of the unmanned aerial vehicles.

Unmanned aerial vehicle alignment system

Herein is disclosed an unmanned aerial vehicle alignment system comprising one or more image sensors, configured to obtain an image of a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles and provide to one or more processors image data corresponding to the obtained image; one or more processors, configured to detect from the image data image positions of the plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles; derive a target position based on a relationship between an image position and a target alignment; and determine an adjustment instruction to direct an unmanned aerial vehicle toward the target position.
