Abstract

A technique for a UAV includes acquiring a query aerial image with an onboard camera of the UAV and a reference aerial image, the query aerial image including multiple instances of an asset and the reference aerial image including annotated pixels indicating an expected location and an identification for the multiple instances of the asset. The technique further includes identifying a plurality of corresponding pixels between the query aerial image and the reference aerial image, determining a homography transformation describing a relationship between the query aerial image and the reference aerial image, annotating the query aerial image to identify a first instance of the asset included in the multiple instances of the asset within the query aerial image, and instructing the UAV to perform an action associated with the first instance of the asset.
