Default RE: Automatic Aircraft Stabilization


ORIGINAL: mouthpiec
I would like to make a project in which I would like to create a software that makes the aircraft fly level when the pilot loose orientation? The module will be triggered once the pilot returns the sticks to neutral.
.....
Regarding the Sensor unit I intend to install two small cameras sensors (one looking forward and another to one of the sides of the aircraft) that look at the horizon and through a software function will return the roll / pitch angles of the aircraft.

What is your feedback about this issue?
Will it be easy to read the signals that are produced by the receiver and fed to the servos?

how will you deal with the aircraft attitude at 90 degrees to the horizon, or inverted? From a visual perspective, how can the software tell the difference between the land and the air? that seems to be the biggest challenge.
