Computer Vision and Terrain Semantics for Autonomous Emergency Touchdown

Selecting zero-casualty touchdown zones in urban environments following complete engine failure.

Real-Time Semantic Ground Segmentation

When a total loss of thrust occurs, the agentic avionics suite scans downward cameras at 60 fps, segmenting terrain into hazard categories: highways, crowds, powerlines, trees, flat grass, and empty parking lots.

Kinematically Feasible Glide Optimization

The system evaluates residual potential and kinetic energy, calculating Dubins vehicle trajectories toward the highest-scoring landing zone while deploying steerable ballistic parachutes if no viable flat clearing exists.
