Abstract:
A system for facilitating autonomous landing of aerial vehicles on a surface. A beam emitter is directed downwards. A control module is configured to govern the vehicle. A processor processes image data. The beam emitter is arranged to emit simultaneously at least four beams directed towards the surface in order to project a pattern thereon. One beam emitter of the at least four beam emitters is placed in the center. An image capturing module captures subsequent images of the pattern.
