A method for performing automated refueling operations includes receiving a two-dimensional (2D) image of a device associated with in-flight refueling operations between a receiver aircraft and a tanker aircraft, identifying keypoints on the device in the 2D image, projecting the keypoints to three-dimensional (3D) space to produce 3D keypoints, comparing the 3D keypoints to a previously stored 3D model of the device to produce a confidence value, and automatically controlling the refueling operations in response to the confidence value.
