• A Kalman Filter for Nonlinear Attitude Estimation Using Time Variable Matrices and Quaternions 

      Deibe Díaz, Álvaro; Antón Nacimiento, José Augusto; Cardenal, Jesús; López Peña, Fernando (MDPI, 2020)
      [Abstract] The nonlinear problem of sensing the attitude of a solid body is solved by a novel implementation of the Kalman Filter. This implementation combines the use of quaternions to represent attitudes, time-varying ...
    • A New Approach to Laminar Flowmeters 

      López Pena, Fernando; Deibe Díaz, Álvaro; Rodríguez Lema, Marcos; Vázquez Rodríguez, Santiago (Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2010)
      After studying the performance and characteristics of actual laminar flowmeters a new disposition for this type of sensors is proposed in such a way that the measurement errors introduced by the intrinsic nature of the ...
    • Towards Precise Positioning and Movement of UAVs for Near-Wall Tasks in GNSS-Denied Environments 

      Orjales, Félix; Losada Pita, Javier; Paz-López, Alejandro; Deibe Díaz, Álvaro (MDPI, 2021-03)
      Abstract: UAVs often perform tasks that require flying close to walls or structures and in environments where a satellite-based location is not possible. Flying close to solid bodies implies a higher risk of collisions, ...
