The task of PV panel defect detection is to identify the category and location of defects in EL images.
Visible light imaging offers broad coverage and low cost, enabling extensive inspections. To address the current limitations of low precision and high image data requirements in defect detection algorithms based on visible light imaging, this paper proposes a novel visible light image defect detection algorithm for photovoltaic panels.
To meet the data requirements, Su et al. 18 proposed PVEL-AD dataset for photovoltaic panel defect detection and conducted several subsequent studies 19, 20, 21 based on this dataset. In recent years, the PVEL-AD dataset has become a benchmark for photovoltaic (PV) cell defect detection research using electroluminescence (EL) images.
Buerhop et al. 17 constructed a publicly available dataset using EL images for optical inspection of photovoltaic panels. Based on this dataset, researchers have developed numerous algorithms 9, 10, 12 for photovoltaic panel defect detection.
