Generally this parameter is provided by sensors like INS (Inertial Navigation Systems), but it can be also estimated with a single camera that {\textquotedblleft}looks{\textquotedblright} the horizon. This work presents the project of an embedded solution that uses visual information, captured by a consumer camera, to estimate the vehicle attitude. The system is designed to be mounted on board of a ship or a sail boat, in order to record the roll and pitch angles for safety purpose or to be used for real time application (e.g. during a regatta to overlap the values of the boat attitude with video output coming from a camera mounted on the masthead framing the race field).</span></p>},
