Aspire is an IA diagnosis software developed by CEA based on RGB and InfraRed images analysis. It has three functional blocks:
- PV module detection from pictures
- Faults detection and classification, at module and plant levels
- Estimation of power losses
Currently, the software detects automatically the PV modules using segmentation based on the determination of the PV module edges. An algorithm then detects faults based on the signature masks for each fault type and the electrical architecture of the plant.
The following document is an overview of Aspire’s functionalitites.
