In view of the vibration of aerial photography equipment caused by the influence of the fuselage or environment during the flight of UAV, the image stabilization system for UAV platform is analyzed. Based on the brief introduction of the research background, this paper mainly introduces the mechanical image stabilization and electronic image stabilization, systematically introduces the research status at home and abroad and a variety of typical image stabilization algorithms, and analyzes the possible future development direction of UAV image stabilization system. The results show that the study has a certain guiding role in the augmentation of UAV aerial images and the selection of image stabilization methods in different scenes.
