The general framework for segmenting the solar cells in EL images of PV modules is illustrated in Fig. 2and consists of the following steps. First, we locate the busbars and the inter solar cell borders by extracting the ridge edges. The ridge edges are extracted at subpixel accuracy and approximated by a set of smooth.

First, in solar cell segmentation, we assume that the size of solar cell is in a typical range, e.g., about α pixels in cell width, given a fixed camera capturing setting. Such typical parameters of cell size in width and height are applied to the selections of cell corner points in Algorithm 4. Furthermore, the panel structure consisting of gridlines and busbars is

The models were trained to simultaneously detect 24 classes in EL images of solar PV cells using semantic segmentation. Twelve classes correspond to intrinsic features of a solar cell, and twelve classes correspond to extrinsic defects. This paper focused on the detection of three critical defects and two common features in crystalline silicon
Multi-junction solar cell design can be enhanced using a process of subcell segmentation, whereby each subcell is further sub-divided into multiple optically-thin pn junctions. This design increases output voltage, reduces current (and associated resistive losses), and crucially, adds a degree of freedom to achieve current-matching

A benchmark dataset for semantic segmentation of solar cell images is published. Twelve deep learning models are trained for defect detection in EL images. Benchmark IoU and recall metrics are provided for 5 of the 24 labelled classes.
The second set of performance metrics are precision, recall, and the \ (F_1\) score . These metrics are computed by considering cell segmentation as a multiclass pixelwise classification into background and active area of individual solar cells.
Finally, the conclusions are given in Sect. 5. The segmentation of PV modules into individual solar cells is related to the detection of calibration patterns, such as checkerboard patterns commonly used for calibrating intrinsic camera and lens parameters [29, 36, 41, 69, 79].
The solar cells in imaged PV modules have a square aspect ratio (i.e., are quadratic). The average resolution of the EL images is \ (2779.63\times {2087.35}\) pixels with a standard deviation of image width and height of 576.42 and 198.30 pixels, respectively. The median resolution is \ (3152\times 2046 \) pixels.
The segmentation is highly accurate, which allows to use its output for further inspection tasks, such as automatic classification of defective solar cells and the prediction of power loss. We evaluated the segmentation with the Jaccard index on eight different PV modules consisting of 408 hand-labeled solar cells.
To further exclude repetitive patterns in the EL image of a solar cell, e.g., due to low passivation efficiency in the contact region (see Fig. 8 d), we combine the initial binary mask and the augmented mask via bitwise XOR. We note that solar cells are usually symmetric about both axes.
