We propose a photovoltaic cell defect detection model capable of extracting topological knowledge, aggregating local multi-order dynamic contexts, and effectively capturing diverse defect features, particularly for small flaws.
Abstract: In this article, defects in the production process of silicon photovoltaic (Si-PV) cells are urgently needed to be detected due to their serious impact on the normal generation of PV system.
However, traditional object detection models prove inadequate for handling photovoltaic cell electroluminescence (EL) images, which are characterized by high levels of noise. To address this challenge, we developed an advanced defect detection model specifically designed for photovoltaic cells, which integrates topological knowledge extraction.

As shown in Fig. 20, detecting small-scale defects poses a significant challenge in photovoltaic cell defect detection. Due to the low contrast in electroluminescence images, conventional convolutional neural networks tend to miss these features, resulting in missed or false detections.
Efforts have been made to develop models capable of real-time defect detection, with some achieving impressive accuracy and processing speeds. However, existing approaches often struggle with feature redundancy and inefficient representations of defects in photovoltaic panels.
