Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and aircraft for performing image analysis for aiding refueling operations. A method includes a method includes receiving a two-dimensional (2D) image from a camera of a first device, determining 2D keypoints of a second device located within the 2D image based on a predefined point model of a generalized version of the second device, determining a 6 degree-of-freedom (6DOF) pose of the second device using the 2D keypoints, and outputting an estimated position of at least a component of the second device based on the 6DOF pose.
