Abstract

See full text

Method for the automatized inspection of photovoltaic solar collectors installed in plants, wherein sets of collectors (1) are analyzed through image processing means. After a first treatment, the images captured are segmented to obtain the panels (2) forming said collectors (1) in a differentiated manner. Next, an analysis of the images of the panels (2) is carried out through image processing means, which may include geometric transformation and texture analyses. Next, the panels (2) can be divided into a main body (3) formed by a matrix of photovoltaic cells (4), arranged on the backsheet (5) and the periphery of the panel (6), which may be analyzed through image processing means to search for defects, identifying the type, number and severity of each one of those defects detected based on the irregularities observed.
