EER-DETR: An Improved Method for Detecting Defects on the Surface of Solar Panels Based on RT-DETR by Jiajun Dun, Hai Yang, Shixin Yuan, Ying Tang

“…In the context of the rapid popularization of clean energy, the precise identification of surface defects on photovoltaic modules has become a core technical bottleneck limiting the operational efficiency of power stations. In response to the shortcomings of existing detection methods in identifying tiny defects and model efficiency, this study innovatively constructed the EER-DETR detection framework: firstly, a feature reconstruction module WDBB with a differentiable branch structure was introduced to significantly enhance the feature retention ability for fine cracks and other small targets; secondly, an adaptive feature pyramid network EHFPN was innovatively designed, which achieved efficient integration of multi-level features through a dynamic weight allocation mechanism, reducing the model complexity by 9.7% while maintaining detection accuracy, solving the industry problem of “precision—efficiency imbalance” in traditional feature pyramid networks; finally, an enhanced upsampling component was introduced to effectively address the problem of detail loss that occurs in traditional methods during image resolution enhancement. …”
