    When GPS signals are lostthe accuracy of the integrated navigation algorithm will decrease.To solve the probleman efficient adaptive smooth switching fusion algorithm is proposed.When the GPS signal is under normal conditionsa high-order integrated navigation algorithm based on GPS measurement is used to estimate UAV attitude.When the GPS signal is lostthe high-order filtering algorithm is terminated and switched to a low-order attitude estimation algorithm based on quaternion.When the GPS signal is restoredthe estimated value of the low-order attitude estimation algorithm is taken as the initial value of the high-order filtering algorithmso as to realize smooth switching between the two attitude estimation algorithms.Simulation results and flight tests show that the switching strategy has good estimation accuracy and feasibilityattitude angle jumping is less than 0.5° during the switching process and the convergence time is less than 0.1 s which effectively improve the accuracy of UAV attitude estimation with or without GPS signals.

    Infrared and visible image fusion can effectively compensate for the weakness of a single sensorand produce a fused image with better visual effect and higher definition.When designing the rules of fusing detail layers and base layers of two imagesthe fusion methods based on multi-scale decomposition often only consider single-scale information in detail layers and base layerswhich may lead to a lack of effective features in the fused image.To solve this problemthis paper proposes a novel fusion rule based on the random walk algorithm to fuse base layers and detail layers.This fusion rule estimates two saliency maps and obtains one of them with multi-scale information for the fusion of base layers and detail layerswhich can effectively fuse the multi-scale information in each layer into the output image.Thereforethe fused image is more beneficial for human-eye perception.
