Image data is used to determine wind speed and wind direction during takeoff and landing by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The flight data, including image data, may be received using sensors onboard the UAV and/or the flight data may be received from other sources, such as nearby anemometer, cameras, other UAVs, other vehicles, and/or local weather stations. Machine learning models may train using the flight data gathered by the UAVs to determine the wind velocity based on image data. The UAV may adjust flight control settings to generate side forces to overcome the predicted wind velocity.
