Therefore, by arranging the navigation combination module of the inertial navigation module 20, the GPS module 30 and the visual navigation module 40 and detecting and judging the signal intensity of the GPS module 30, the navigation of the unmanned aerial vehicle is realized by combining the inertial navigation module 20 and the GPS module 30 when the signal of the GPS module 30 is good, and the inertial navigation data can be corrected by the GPS data when the unmanned aerial vehicle is in a yaw state; when GPS module 30 signal is poor even no signal, realize the navigation to unmanned aerial vehicle through the combination of visual navigation module 40 and inertial navigation module 20, and can revise inertial navigation data through visual image data when unmanned aerial vehicle navigates, thereby can realize also realizing the navigation to unmanned aerial vehicle when the signal receives the interference, the error rate of unmanned aerial vehicle navigation has been reduced, and can effectively reduce unmanned aerial vehicle operation in-process staff's input, the intellectuality of unmanned aerial vehicle operation has been improved, thereby ensure that unmanned aerial vehicle's operation task can go on smoothly.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, the inertial navigation system of the unmanned aerial vehicle is provided, and comprises a flight control module, an inertial navigation module, a GPS module and a visual navigation module; the flight control module is in communication connection with the inertial navigation module, the GPS module and the visual navigation module; the GPS module is used for acquiring GPS data in flight; the visual navigation module is used for acquiring visual image data in flight; the flight control module is used for judging whether the signal intensity of the GPS module is greater than a threshold value or not and correcting the navigation data of the inertial navigation module by using the GPS data when the signal intensity of the GPS module is greater than the threshold value; when the signal intensity of the GPS module is smaller than or equal to the threshold value, the navigation data of the inertial navigation module is corrected through the visual image data; and the inertial navigation module is used for controlling the navigation flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the corrected navigation data.

For example, taking the distance or position information in the navigation data as an example, the delay time of the GPS data may be calculated first, then the average speed at the current time is taken, and then the delay time is multiplied by the average speed to calculate the current delay distance, so that it can be ensured that the GPS data and the navigation data of the inertial navigation module 20 obtain the same time position, and the position at the same time is obtained and then subjected to data fusion to obtain a fused position, where the calculation accuracy is higher than the position accuracy when the navigation data using the GPS data or the single inertial navigation module 20 is used for navigation.
