Abstract

A computing system receives sensor data that includes, for a reporting aeronautical vehicle of a set of one or more reporting aeronautical vehicles, one or more images captured by the reporting aeronautical vehicle. For the image of the sensor data, the computing system identifies one or more candidate landing zones within the image. For the candidate landing zone identified, the computing system estimates a geographic position of the candidate landing zone; and associates an identifier of the candidate landing zone with the geographic position. The computing system receives, from a client device, a request for a landing zone for an aeronautical vehicle. Responsive to the request, the computing system selects from among the one or more candidate landing zones, a target candidate landing zone; and sends the geographic position estimated for the target candidate landing zone to the client device.
