  • Patent number: 8000849
    Abstract: An aid for remotely controlling unmanned aircraft and particular helicopters, which allow the pilot at least approximately to directly stir the angle of inclination, thus for instance a pitch(elevator) and/or roll angle, so that on neutralizing of the steering stick, the respective angle of attitude returns autonomously, and to a large extent goes back to the horizontal position. To this end, a closed-loop control of the inclination is carried out, in that an angular rate signal is being integrated to an actual value, and a nominal value is admixed behind the forming of the integral, wherein the time of integration is shortened in order to avoid null drifts, in particular by feeding a portion of the actual value and/or the nominal value back into the input of the integrator. Furthermore, a vectorial rotation of the integrated actual values by a yaw signal.

  • Patent number: 7400950
    Abstract: In order to measure the movement of a vehicle, especially an aircraft, an imaging optical system 2 which is to be positioned on the vehicle is used to detect an image of the environment 4, and an optoelectronic shift sensor 3 chip of the type comprising an inherent evaluation unit is used to measure any shift of the image from structures thereof. The shift sensor is equal or similar to the sensor used on an optical mouse. The sensor is positioned in such a way that infinite objects are focused. The measuring signal is evaluated to indicate movements and/or the position of the aircraft. The inventive system can also be used to measure distances e.g. in order to control the flight altitude. The invention further relates to methods for automatically controlling particularly a hovering flight by means of a control loop using optical flow measurement.
