Techniques for verifying a location and identification of a landing marker to aid an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to deliver a payload to a location may be provided. For example, upon receiving an indication that a UAV has arrived to a delivery location, a server computer may process one or more images of an area that are provided by the UAV and/or a user interacting with a user device. A landing marker may be identified in the image and a representation of the landing marker along with instructions to guide the UAV to deliver the payload to the landing marker may be transmitted to the UAV and implemented by the UAV.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), configure the computer system to perform operations comprising:
