I wonder if CV systems will be similarly catastrophically perplexed?

Imagine laying out the zebra rug for an Amazon drone delivery

No, its pretty obvious to recognize a zebra using a neural net (e.g. resnet)

I meant with regards for reference for landings, although I imagine a drone could look around, it’s far larger than a fly.

I've wondered if you could do something similar for keeping birds from landing on flat elevated surfaces. I wasn't thinking stripes though, more like reflective holographic surfaces so the birds couldn't even identify the flat surface as flat. I'm inclined to believe that the crows would figure it out sooner or later though.

But is it as obvious to tell a distance to a zebra given it’s image?
