About

This project proposes a lightweight monocular vision system that enables autonomous UAVs to identify safe landing zones using only a single camera. By combining distilled depth estimation, gradient-based flatness analysis, and instance segmentation, the system delivers accurate, fast, and efficient landing-zone detection suitable for deployment on resource-constrained drones operating in challenging environments.
