Abstract
A technique for provisioning UAVs to operate in a specific geographical region includes acquiring reference aerial images of the specific geographical region from a secondary source. The reference aerial images have at least one style characteristic that is distinct from that of operational aerial images acquired by the UAVs during operation. The reference aerial images are transformed into training images that adopt a style of the operational aerial images using a neural style transfer. A neural network that facilitates vision-based navigation of the UAVs is trained using the training images. The neural network is trained to operate in the specific geographical region prior to operation in the specific geographical region.
