Solar Mask Photovoltaic Panel
Identifying foreground objects in an image is one of the most common operations used in image processing. In this work, Mask R-CNN algorithm is used to identify solar photovoltaic (PV) panels in aerial images and create a mask that can be used to remove the background from the images. Here's one way to do away with range anxiety once and for all. Automating solar panel identification is a rel- evant task in the context of renewable energies, where the need to keep track of these installations has increased ex- ponentially and solar developers have little to no tools to. . Accurate detection of photovoltaic (PV) module defects remains challenging due to environmental variability and the limited fault visibility of single-modality imaging.
