Surface defects in solar cells are various and can be challenging to detect due to the complex background. Before the widespread use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), manually extracting features for defect detection was a common method in machine vision. The passage discusses the difficulties of this approach.
In this paper, a detection algorithm of surface defects on solar cells is proposed by fusing multi-channel convolution neural networks. The detection results from two different convolution neural networks, i.e., Faster R-CNN and R-FCN, are combined to improve detection precision and position accuracy.
At present, there are three main types of methods for detecting defects in solar cell EL images, i.e., visual inspection, physical methods, and machine vision. Among them, the defect detection method based on machine vision has been greatly developed due to its advantages of good real-time performance, high accuracy, and convenient operation.
These defects will reduce the efficiency of solar cells or even make them completely useless. In this paper, a detection algorithm of surface defects on solar cells is proposed by fusing multi-channel convolution neural networks.
Many existing methods for detecting solar cell defects focus on the analysis of electroluminescence (EL) infrared images, specifically in the 1000–1200 nm wave length range. Chiou et al. (2011) developed a regional growth detection algorithm to extract cracks defects from the captured images.
Conventional solar cell defect detection methods are often interfered with by cell substrates and are difficult to detect under high reflection, especially the overlap of substrates and defects.
