Photovoltaic panel internal defect detection method

Does varifocalnet detect photovoltaic module defects?

The VarifocalNet is an anchor-free detection method and has higher detection accuracy 5. To further improve both the detection accuracy and speed for detecting photovoltaic module defects, a detection method of photovoltaic module defects in EL images with faster detection speed and higher accuracy is proposed based on VarifocalNet.

What is PV panel defect detection?

The task of PV panel defect detection is to identify the category and location of defects in EL images.

How are defects detected in photovoltaic models?

The detection of defects in photovoltaic models can be categorized into two types. The first type involves analyzing the characteristic curves of electrical parameters, such as current, voltage, and power of the photovoltaic system.

What data analysis methods are used for PV system defect detection?

Nevertheless, review papers proposed in the literature need to provide a comprehensive review or investigation of all the existing data analysis methods for PV system defect detection, including imaging-based and electrical testing techniques with greater granularity of each category's different types of techniques.

How to improve the detection speed of photovoltaic module defects?

Improving detection speed is the focus of the one-stage method, while the two-stage method emphasizes detection accuracy. In the practical detection of photovoltaic module defects, we should consider not only the detection speed but also the detection accuracy. The VarifocalNet is an anchor-free detection method and has higher detection accuracy 5.

How deep learning is used in photovoltaic module defect detection?

The deep learning method also has been widely used in photovoltaic module defect detection 10. To reduce the detection network complexity, Akram et al. 11 proposed a light convolution neural network based on a visual geometry group network for detecting photovoltaic cell cracking defects.
