碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 電機工程學系所 === 97 === There are many applications of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), especially the high risk tasks. However, the cost of its usage for military is high, and the experienced pilot is necessary for accomplishing landing. The objective of this thesis is to design a landing guidance tunnel to help the pilot to land the UAV successfully. The coordinates of UAV such as longitude, latitude and altitude are obtained from the pace flight simulator software, X-Plane. According to the flight data, a high way in the sky (HITS) is established to guide the UAV to land on the runway. The implementation of flight tunnel involves the data of flying path, 3-D coordinate reconstruction, imaging principle of camera and theory for similar triangles. The flight tunnel is displayed on the monitor and used to guide the UAV. We also provide a graphical user interface to let the user choose the different airports and runways. Keywords: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), coordinate reconstruction, HITS, flight tunnel.
