sUAS Infrared Image Dataset for Photovoltaic Module Fault Classification

  • 1. ROR icon University of Louisiana at Lafayette

Description

The dataset contains cropped image files (.jpg) of annotated photovoltaic (PV) modules stored in the associated fault type directories. The images are 8-bit gray-scale that are normalized to pixel values to 0-255 scale. The annotations were made on an orthomosaic of a PV array with a spatial resolution of 3.13 cm/pixel. The fault types (# of samples) that are represented are: 

  • 1. Cell (249)
  • 2. Multi-Cell (96)
  • 3. Open-Circuit Substring (26)
  • 4. Open-Circuit (431)
  • 5. Open-Circuit Mulit-Substring (2)
  • 6. Short-Circuit Substring (15)
  • 7. Short Circuit (21)
  • 8. Normal (2835)
