To provide fuel receptacle and boom tip position and pose estimation for aerial refueling.SOLUTION: A video frame is received in which aircraft keypoints for an aircraft to be refueled are determined. Based on at least the aircraft keypoints, a position and a pose of a fuel receptacle on the aircraft are determined. In the video frame, a boom tip keypoint for a boom tip of an aerial refueling boom is also determined. Based on at least the boom tip keypoint, a position and a pose of the boom tip are determined. Based on at least the position and pose of the fuel receptacle and the position and pose of the boom tip, the aerial refueling boom is controlled to engage the fuel receptacle. Some examples overlay projections of an aircraft model on displayed video for a human observer.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2B

    【課題】本開示の態様は、空中給油のための燃料容器及びブーム先端の位置及び姿勢の推定を提供する。【解決手段】ビデオフレームが受信され、ビデオフレーム内で、給油される航空機の航空機キーポイントが決定される。少なくとも航空機キーポイントに基づいて、航空機上の燃料容器の位置及び姿勢が決定される。ビデオフレーム内で、空中給油ブームのブーム先端のブーム先端キーポイントも決定される。少なくともブーム先端キーポイントに基づいて、ブーム先端の位置及び姿勢が決定される。少なくとも燃料容器の位置及び姿勢並びにブーム先端の位置及び姿勢に基づいて、空中給油ブームは、燃料容器に係合するように制御される。いくつかの例は、観察人員のために表示されたビデオに航空機モデルの投影をオーバーレイする。【選択図】図2B
