Abstract: In some examples, a landing location within a region for an aerial vehicle may be determined. The landing location may be determined by comparing a first digital elevation dataset and a second digital elevation dataset to identify open areas within the region. Information about the landing location can be shared with the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: In some examples, a system for instructing an unmanned aerial vehicle is provided. The system may include a delivery management service for processing orders for items available in connection with an electronic marketplace. The delivery management service may also determine a landing location for delivery of an item to a customer of the electronic marketplace. The landing location may correspond the customer's address. Determination of the landing location may be based on a first digital elevation dataset, a second digital elevation dataset, and parcel data corresponding to a region in which the customer's address is located. The unmanned aerial vehicle may access the landing location as part of delivering the item to the customer.

Abstract: In some examples, a landing location within a region for an unmanned aerial vehicle may be determined. The landing location may be determined based on a first digital elevation dataset, a second digital elevation dataset, and parcel data corresponding to a region. The landing location may be determined by identifying open areas within the parcel data and performing one or more slope calculations and one or more area calculations on the open areas.
