Abstract
The adoption of Image Processing concepts associated to robotic applications has been showing as efficient solutions for quotidian issues. The Quadrotor is an equipment that has been used largely for monitoring objects. Considering the stable flight control of a quadrotor, this project presents the development of a system to monitor a specific wheelchair. The system is composed of the camera attached to the quadrotor. The camera sends images to a computer, which will process the wheelchair movement through the algorithm developed. By applying the main concepts of Image Processing, respecting physical limits between the equipment and the wheelchair user, it is possible to monitor the target securely.
