Vision-based automated aerial refueling requires a relative positioning solution capable of real time updates between the tanker and receiver. The processing time required for modern approaches are dominated by an iterative point alignment phase. This work presents an accelerated alignment variant which utilizes parallelization and Delaunay Triangulation to achieve real time estimates.
