The invention discloses a precise recovery method of an electric power inspection unmanned aerial vehicle. The method comprises the steps of: shooting an image of a landing platform according to a setperiod, and analyzing landing marks in the shot image; determining RTK (Real-Time-Kinematic) coordinates of a landing point by combining the recognized landing marks and the current RTK coordinates of an unmanned aerial vehicle; regulating the landing and flight paths of the unmanned aerial vehicle and controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to be landed on the landing point by calculating the position deviation between the current RTK coordinates of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the RTK coordinates of the landing point after correction and the angle deviation between the nose direction ofthe unmanned aerial vehicle and the direction of the landing marks. According to the method, the visual navigation technology and the RTK differential positioning technology are combined to ensure therecovery precision of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle is guided to rapidly and accurately land to the landing point by employing the differential positioning technology underthe condition that the visual navigation is invalid according to the position deviation of the current RTK coordinates of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the RTK coordinates of the landing point so as to improve the recovery speed, the precision and the stability of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
