Damage Detection of Power Plants

Introduction #

Released 2020-10-24 ·ASM Shihavuddin, Mohammad Rifat Ahmmad Rashid, Xiao Chenet al.

The Damage Detection of Power Plants dataset comprises expert-annotated damages on various types of power plant images, including Wind Turbine Optical Images, Solar Panel Optical Images (Small), Solar Panel Optical Images (Large), and Solar Panel Infrared Images. The authors of the dataset are interested in exploring image-based monitoring as a promising and cost-effective solution for large-scale renewable plants. They aim to automate the detection of damages in power installations using drone-acquired images. However, they face challenges such as size and scale variations, variations in light conditions, and the rarity of some damage types, which can make automated detection difficult, particularly for machine learning methods that rely on a large number of examples.

To evaluate their approach, the authors utilized four different datasets, including Solar Panel Optical Images (Large) obtained with a DJI Mavic Pro drone, Wind Turbine Optical Images captured by professional drone operators in DTU wind energy facilities, Solar Panel Optical Images (Small) from the work of Mehta et al. (2018), and Solar Panel Infrared Images produced by Alfaro-Mejía et al. (2019). They mixed these datasets to evaluate the performance of deep learning-based object detection models for damage detection across different origins and image sensing modalities.

The Wind Turbine Optical Images dataset consists of 431 images, covering various types of surface damages on wind turbine blades, such as erosion, cracks, oil leakage, and damaged lightning receptors.

The Solar Panel Optical Images (Small) dataset contains 516 images, focusing on the effects of soiling on power production for control PV panels.

The Solar Panel Optical Images (Large) dataset includes 122 high-resolution long shots of PV panels covered by dust.

The Solar Panel Infrared Images dataset comprises 67 grayscale images acquired using a Zenmuse XT IR camera with a DJI Matrice 100 drone, annotated for snail trails and hot spot failures.

Image set	Image type	Captured object	Acquisition by	Resolution	Color	N	Ref.
Wind turbine optical images	Optical	Wind turbine	Drone	100 × 100–1844 × 1281	Yes	431	Shihavuddin et al. (2019)
Solar panel optical images (small)	Optical	PV panel	Drone	192 × 192	Yes	516	Mehta et al. (2018).
Solar panel optical images (large)	Optical	PV panel	Drone	3264 × 1836	Yes	122	Original data

The dataset is a valuable resource for studying and developing damage detection models across different power plant types and image modalities.

Summary #

Replication Data for Remote Damage Detection of Power Plants Using Deep Learning Based Drone Image Analysis is a dataset for an object detection task. It is used in the drone inspection and damage detection domains, and in the engineering research. Possible applications of the dataset could be in the energy industry.

The dataset consists of 1136 images with 1136 labeled objects belonging to 1 single class (damage).

Images in the Damage Detection of Power Plants dataset have bounding box annotations. All images are labeled (i.e. with annotations). There are no pre-defined train/val/test splits in the dataset. Alternatively, the dataset could be split into 4 image-sets: solar_small (516 images), wind (431 images), solar_large (122 images), and solar_small_IR (67 images). The dataset was released in 2020 by the Green University of Bangladesh and University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh.
