摘要

Target detection models have achieved remarkable progress in the defect detection of photovoltaic (PV) modules’ electroluminescence (EL) images. However, numerous complex and uncertain factors in practical detection scenarios, such as scale variation, feature similarity, and occlusion effects, pose challenges for achieving accurate and real-time detection in industrial production. To address these limitations, Dual Extraction Shared Network (DESNet), a novel target detection network based on the convolutional neural network is proposed. To reduce computational resource demands, we design Projector-Smart-PDConv (ProjSPD) and High-level 2D Feature Interaction (Hi2D-FI) in Backbone. To tackle issues of target occlusion and class imbalance, Context Guided module (CG) in Neck is designed for global information fusion. To mitigate the impact of tiny target similarity, we design Shared Group Normalization Convolutional (SGNC) head. Model evaluation is conducted on two public datasets. DESNet achieves 13.4% and 1.0% higher \(\text {mAP}_{0.5}\) mAP 0.5 over the CNN-based baseline within the permitted detection time, validating its practical effectiveness and strong potential for industrial deployment.
