Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-implemented method for detecting foreign objects on a landing surface. For instance, the method may include capturing an image from one or more cameras associated with a vehicle, detecting the landing surface present in the captured image, retrieving a reference image for the detected landing surface, and extracting a plurality of feature points present in both the captured image and the reference image. The method may further include determining a transformation between the captured image and the reference image by correlating the plurality of feature points between the captured image and the reference image, creating a virtual image by applying the transformation to one of the captured image or the reference image, and comparing the virtual image to the other one of the captured image or the reference image that was not transformed to detect one or more foreign objects.
