Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and aircraft for verifying performing automated refueling data. A method includes receiving a two-dimensional (2D) image from a camera, cropping the 2D image based on predefined feature areas of interest of a target object to produce a plurality of cropped images, resizing one or more of the cropped images responsive to the target object being greater than a threshold distance from the camera to produce one or more resized images, determining 2D keypoints of the target object within the one or more resized images or the plurality of cropped images, estimating a 6 degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) pose based on the 2D keypoints and a three-dimensional (3D) model of the target object to produce an estimated 6DOF pose, and outputting the 6DOF pose.
