An approach for Intelligent detection of dirty PV panels using image processing with YOLOv8
Abstract: The efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is greatly affected by the condition of panel surfaces, as dust buildup and other impurities can noticeably reduce power output. Traditional maintenance methods rely largely on manual inspection, which can be subjective, inconsistent, and impractical for large-scale installations. To address these challenges, this work investigates a deep learning-based computer vision approach for the automatic assessment of solar panel cleanliness. In this work, a …

A Study on CNN-Based Image Mosaicing
Abstract: The intricate tapestry of image mosaicing, while a cornerstone of computer vision, has long been constrained by the rigidity of classical, geometry-driven pipelines. Hand-crafted feature detectors and homography estimators, while effective in controlled environments, prove brittle when confronted with the challenges of real-world scenes: significant parallax, dynamic moving objects, repetitive textures, and illumination variance. This work introduces a fundamental paradigm shift, proposing a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture designed …
