Solar Cell Surface Defect Detection Based on Optimized YOLOv5
Abstract
Traditional vision methods for solar cell defect detection have problems such as low accuracy
and few types of detection, so this project proposes an optimized YOLOv5 model for more
accurate and comprehensive identification of defects in solar cells. The model firstly integrates
five data enhancement methods, namely Mosaic, Mixup, hsv transform, scale transform and flip,
to expand the existing data set to improve the feature training accuracy and enhance the
robustness of the model; secondly, CA attention mechanism is introduced to improve the feature
extraction ability of the model; to address the problems of different target defect classification
and localization concerns, the detection head in the original model is replaced with a decoupling
head, which significantly improve the detection accuracy of the model without affecting the
convergence speed of the mode
