Method and system for identification of landing sites for aerial vehicles

Abstract

A system and method for identification of a landing site for aerial vehicles are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes processing image data pertaining to a potential site area. The method further includes identifying existing building infrastructure and defining boundaries of the identified existing building infrastructure in the potential site area, based on the processed image data. The method also includes identifying existing road infrastructure adjacent to the boundaries of the identified existing building infrastructure and defining boundaries of the identified existing road infrastructure, based on the processed image data. The method further includes calculating a feasibility score of the existing building infrastructure by analyzing the identified existing building infrastructure and the identified existing road infrastructure. The method further includes outputting the identified existing building infrastructure as a potential landing site for landing aerial vehicles when the calculated feasibility score is above a predetermined threshold score.
