The invention provides an unscented Kalman filter-based method for tracking an inertial pose according to acceleration compensation, which is used for an inertial measurement unit integrating a three-axis micro-gyroscope, a three-axis micro-accelerometer and a three-axis magnetoresistive sensor, and realizes pose tracking estimation on a device carrier by using rotary angular velocity vectors, acceleration vectors and magnetic field sensor vectors which are detected by the device by means of filter technology. The method comprises the following steps: 1) treating the acceleration vectors as combination of the acceleration vectors and gravity acceleration vectors of the device carrier self, and constructing observation equations respectively for amplitude and normalized direction vectors of the acceleration vectors and the gravity acceleration vectors; 2) describing quaternion, accumulated error vectors of the gyroscope and the acceleration vectors of the device carrier self by using the pose to construct a system state vector; and 3) realizing a filter estimating process of the system by using the unscented Kalman filter technology because of nonlinearity of the observation equations. Compared with the conventional method ignoring the acceleration of the carrier self, the method not only can provide a more accurate estimation result, but also widens the application range of the system.
