Detection algorithm: A detection algorithm refers to a computational method for identifying and segmenting PV panel overlays, usually based on techniques such as image processing or deep learning. The performance and complexity of the detection algorithm will affect the accuracy and speed of overlay detection.
With the deepening of intelligent technology, deep learning detection algorithm can more accurately and easily identify whether the solar panel is defective and the specific defect category, which is broadly divided into two-stage detection algorithm and one-stage detection algorithm.
In order to avoid such accidents, it is a top priority to carry out relevant quality inspection before the solar panels leave the factory. For the defect detection of solar panels, the main traditional methods are divided into artificial physical method and machine vision method.
The results of comparative experiments on the solar panel defect detection data set show that after the improvement of the algorithm, the overall precision is increased by 1.5%, the recall rate is increased by 2.4%, and the mAP is up to 95.5%, which is 2.5% higher than that before the improvement.
