Abstract
The existing techniques for detecting defects in photovoltaic (PV) components have some drawbacks, such as few samples, low detection accuracy, and poor real-time performance. This paper presents a cloud-edge collaborative technique for detecting the defects in PV components, based on transfer learning. The proposed cloud model is based on the YOLO v3-tiny algorithm. To increase the detection effect of small targets, we produced a third prediction layer by fusing the shallow feature information with the stitching layer in the second detection scale and introducing a residual module to achieve improvement of the YOLO v3-tiny algorithm. In order to further increase the ability of the network model to extract target features, the residual module was introduced in the YOLO v3-tiny backbone network to increase network depth and learning ability. Finally, through the model’s transfer learning and edge collaboration, the adaptability of the defect-detection algorithm to personalized applications and real-time defect detection was enhanced. The experimental results showed that the average accuracy and recall rates of the improved YOLO v3-tiny for detecting defects in PV components were 95.5% and 93.7%, respectively. The time-consumption of single panoramic image detection is 6.3 ms, whereas the consumption of the model’s memory is 64 MB. After cloud-edge learning migration, the training time for a local sample model was improved by 66%, and the accuracy reached 99.78%.
