[0136] Figure 2 This indicates that the initial pitch angle is approximately 15 degrees; Figure 3 This indicates that the initial segment azimuth is approximately 1.8 degrees; Figure 4 This indicates that the initial distance of the drone was approximately 525 meters. Figure 9 As can be seen, with the assistance of electro-optical guidance, the drone smoothly descended from an altitude of 160 meters, eventually landing at a height of 0 meters on the landing site. Figure 10It can be seen that the unmanned aerial vehicle starts to correct quickly from the initial position of 15 meters laterally, and finally the lateral error is stabilized at about 0 meters, realizing accurate landing. The overall landing process is fast, accurate and has small shock. From the overall experimental results, the method provided by the application embodies good stability and precision, thereby indicating the effectiveness of the photoelectric guidance and interference compensation of the method, and having high engineering application and popularization value.
