To address this issue, this paper proposes a method and system for hot spot detection on photovoltaic panels using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with multispectral cameras.
Professional technicians and electrical professionals use thermal cameras across many industrial applications, including the inspection of solar panels. B. Computer Vision Researchers have proposed many unique algorithms for the automated detection of faults in the thermal imagery of solar panels.
Table 3 presents the results obtained in the detection of photovoltaic panels for the selected scenarios. In the first urban scenario, 99.12% of the area of manually marked panels was covered, with only 0.88% excluded. A false positive rate of 15.20% was recorded.
These can rapidly scan large areas of utility-scale solar plants, collecting useful images for analysis. Innovations in utility-scale solar array inspection include using thermal cameras, which, coupled with appropriate imaging algorithms, can provide impactful results. III. RELATED WORK
This procedure starts with an RGB orthomosaic and uses several image analysis and processing techniques to automate the recognition of solar panels. The outputs of this procedure are the vertices of the detected solar panels, georeferenced with UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) zone 30N coordinates, in the ETRS89 reference system.
