6 FAQs about [Automatic labeling of solar cell modules]
How do you label a solar cell image?
Each column is labeled using the ground truth label. Red shaded probabilities above each solar cell image correspond to predictions made by the CNN. The upper two rows correspond to monocrystalline solar cells and bottom two rows to polycrystalline solar cell images.
How do we classify defects of solar cells in electroluminescence images?
We classify defects of solar cells in electroluminescence images with two methods. One approach uses a support vector machine for fast results on mobile hardware. The second method with a convolutional neural network achieves even higher accuracy. Both methods allow continuous monitoring for defects that affect the cell output.
Can El images be automatically detected in a PV cell?
However, the analysis of EL images is typically a manual process that is expensive, time-consuming, and requires expert knowledge of many different types of defects. In this work, we investigate two approaches for automatic detection of such defects in a single image of a PV cell.
Can anomaly detection be used as an automatic labeling method?
