Aerial photography of photovoltaic support project

Can satellite and aerial photography provide accurate PV information?

With the advance of spatiotemporal resolution of onboard sensors, satellite and aerial photography can provide up-to-date images of specific ground targets, making them an ideal source for obtaining accurate PV information (Perez et al., 2001; Peters et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2018).

What is aerial photography & how does it work?

These aerial images provide a unique perspective on how the construction of solar farms takes place. Aerial photography is exactly what it sounds like—photographs taken from the air. This type of photography can be taken from hundreds to thousands of feet in the air, depending on the size of the area you want to capture.

Why should a construction company use aerial photography?

Additionally, photographs show various stages in the construction process so the construction teams can get a better understanding of the progress as such large solar projects come together. Aerial photography also provides an easy way for construction companies to showcase their work during the various stages of development.

Are annotated solar panels available in native resolution and HD satellite imagery?

To the best knowledge of the authors, there are no publicly available datasets including annotated solar panels in native resolution and HD satellite imagery. The process for creating the paired native resolution and HD image tiles and associated labels. Both sets of components contain three image tiles and 2,542 annotated solar panels.

Can a deep convolutional neural network detect solar photovoltaic arrays?

A deep convolutional neural network and a random forest classifier for solar photovoltaic array detection in aerial imagery. In 2016 IEEE International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA). 650--654.

Where are photovoltaic solar panels located?

Photovoltaic solar panels cover several hills in China's Fujian province. # Reflected sunlight is directed at the tower of the Abengoa solar plant at Solucar solar park in Sanlúcar la Mayor, near the Andalusian capital of Seville, in southern Spain, on November 13, 2015. #
