Solution
Folio3 AI built an AI-powered application for the client that processes the images sent by our client’s customer portal. The AI model integrated by Folio3 AI is fine-tuned to detect and identify anomalies in uploaded thermal images according to the client’s use cases.
Customized AI model
The algorithm was fine-tuned, trained, and customized according to the client data for specific data outputs. The model processes images uploaded on the client’s portal and provides output according to the AI-trained model.
AI Anomaly Detection
The custom solar panel anomaly detection algorithm fine-tuned on client data will detect the following Diode Failure and Hotspot Failure on the images that are uploaded on the client portal.
Excluding Overlapping Images
The AI model can exclude overlapping images that are captured from different drone positions. Providing accurate detection results and anomaly counts.
Maximized Accuracy
The model is capable of excluding any images detected outside the solar panel boundary to provide accurate results regardless of environmental factors that could compromise the model
Result
The Folio3 AI-built solar panel inspection solutions were deployed on the client’s existing platform with more than 90% model accuracy.
