Landing safety is a challenge heavily engaging the research community recently, due to the increasing interest in applications availed by aerial vehicles. In this paper, we propose a landing safety pipeline based on state of the art object detectors and OctoMap. First, a point cloud of surface obstacles is generated, which is then inserted in an OctoMap. The unoccupied areas are identified, thus r...
