Cost-Effective Flight Strategy for Aerial Thermography Inspection of Photovoltaic Power Plants
(2022-11-06)
Thermography from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is widely used for module condition surveys and defect detection in solar (photovoltaic) power plants. This article presents an optimized defect inspection procedure in which ...
A Performance Characteristic for Net Light Collection in Hyperspectral and Conventional Cameras: A*
(2022-12-09)
The signal-to-noise ratio of modern cameras under normal operating conditions tends to be limited by “photon noise” originating from the random arrival of photons. For best signal-to-noise ratio, it is desirable to collect ...
