An automatic method is proposed for solar cell defect detection and classification. An unsupervised algorithm is designed for adaptive defect detection. A standardized diagnosis scheme is developed for statistical defect classification. Extensive experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
An adaptive approach to automatically detect and classify defects in solar cells is proposed based on absolute electroluminescence (EL) imaging. We integrate the convenient automatic detection algorithm with the effective defect diagnosis solution so that in-depth defect detection and classification becomes feasible.
The proposed adaptive automatic solar cell defect detection and classification method mainly consists of the following three steps: solar cell EL image preprocessing, adaptive solar cell defect detection, and solar cell defect classification, as shown in Fig. 1.
2.3. Proposed solar cell defect detection and classification method Solar cell defect characterization: Generally, the local defects are shown up as dark spots in solar cell EL images, other defect shapes such as micro-crack, large-area failure, break, and finger-interruption are simply regarded as continuous dark spots [20, 21, 51, 53].
ML-based techniques for surface defect detection of solar cells were reviewed by Rana and Arora , of which were only imaging-based techniques. Similarly, Al-Mashhadani et al., have reviewed DL-based studies that adopted only imaging-based techniques.
Although several review papers have investigated recent solar cell defect detection techniques, they do not provide a comprehensive investigation including IBTs and ETTs with a greater granularity of the different types of each for PV defect detection systems.
