Abstract
A technique for processing delivery aborts by a UAV delivery service includes: acquiring a delivery zone (DZ) image of a delivery destination including a DZ for a package being delivered to the delivery destination by a UAV; determining to abort a delivery mission for the package based upon the DZ image; converting the DZ image to a vector embedding; performing a similarity search on a vector database using the vector embedding, the vector database storing reference images of other delivery destinations indexed to reference vector embeddings and outcome attributes describing delivery outcomes associated with the reference images, and wherein the similarity search identifies a subset of the reference images deemed to have a threshold similarity to the DZ image; and prompting a vision language model with the DZ image and the subset of the reference images to provide an abort explanation or to determine a delivery disposition for the DZ.
