1. A system, the system comprising:
one or more imaging devices, the one or more imaging devices coupled to one or more external surfaces of an aircraft, the one or more imaging devices configured to generate a first set of images of a first calibration target positioned at a first position and an additional set of images of an additional calibration target positioned at an additional position, wherein the first position is different from the additional position, the first calibration target including a first calibration pattern, the additional calibration target including a second calibration pattern; and
one or more controllers communicatively coupled to the one or more imaging devices, the one or more controllers including one or more processors configured to executed a set program instructions stored in a memory, the one or more controllers including a machine learning algorithm stored in memory, the set of program instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to:
receive the first set of images of the first calibration target positioned at the first position from the one or more imaging devices;
receive the additional set of images of the additional calibration target positioned at the additional position from the one or more imaging devices;
determine one or more environmental conditions external to the aircraft at the additional position; and
determine one or more real-time calibration parameters for the one or more imaging devices based on the one or more environmental conditions.
