The processing procedure concludes by storing the improved geometries in a spatial database to create the PV panel catalogue—the extracted vector information being ready to be imported in Geographic Information System, or GIS, environments for further analysis.
This study focuses on the domain of PV panel health monitoring, with a special emphasis on the identification of fractures through the utilization of modern image processing techniques. The study utilized an extensive dataset that included a wide variety of PV modules, consisting of a total of 44 modules.
The presence of cracks in PV panels can have a substantial effect on their overall performance and efficiency. Cracks in the panel cause a decline in the electricity output of the solar PV system, resulting in diminished overall efficiency.
Subsequently, sophisticated image processing algorithms are implemented during the PV panel image analysis. Edge detection and pattern recognition techniques that are used on pre-processed images are a means of detecting and analyzing patterns that would indicate the presence of fractures.
