Disseny d'un sensor software d'orientaci贸 per un helic貌pter amb visi贸 per computador
L鈥檕bjectiu d鈥檃quest projecte 茅s obtenir una aproximaci贸 en temps real de la posici贸 i orientaci贸 d鈥檜n microhelic貌pter mitjan莽ant les imatges provinents d鈥檜n sistema de visi贸 per computador. Es tracta de programar un algoritme que fusioni les imatges de dues c脿meres fixes que apunten a un determinat espai de control en el qual vola lliurement el microhelic貌pter

Future Propulsion Systems
Freedom involves transports. In the current society people want to be able to travel
around the world. Tourism, student exchange programs, visits to family or friends living
abroad, business, and many other facts could be a reason to move by plane.
The air traffic experimented a progressive grow during the last years, and the prediction
is that it will still continue increasing. However, there are two main problems which
could act as hindrances against such process of development.
On the one hand, the majority of engines that are being used to propel aircraft nowadays
work burning fossil oil derivative fuels. Oil is a limited raw material the value of which
is currently rising due to the fact that it is being exhausted.
On the other hand, the other concern is the emissions produced by the combustion of
such fuels by aircraft engines. The fumes produced remain in the atmosphere
contributing to the greenhouse effect and the global warming, which are two of the
ecological problems that the society must fight against.
These reasons cause the need to research and develop Future Propulsion Systems. In
this project a study of the further possibilities to solve such problems is presented, as
well as a comparison and discussion trying to forecast what could be the best path to
follow, in order to continue propelling aircraft in a greener, more economical and
sustainable way
