Aiming at the problems existing in the defect detection of photovoltaic modules
such as low detection accuracy
high missed detection rate of small targets and large number of network parameters
a lightweight improved model CBS-YOLOv8(CBAM-BiFPN-SIoU-YOLOv8) based on YOLOv8 is proposed. In the feature extraction stage
the feature representation of the defect area is strengthened through the embedded CBAM attention module. In multi-scale feature fusion
the bidirectional feature pyramid network (BiFPN) is adopted
and the SIoU loss function is improved to enhance the bounding box regression accuracy. Furthermore
knowledge distillation technology is integrated to construct a teacher-student collaborative training framework to achieve model compression and performance transfer. The experimental results show that the mAP of the improved model on the self-built photovoltaic module EL image dataset reaches 87.50%
which is 7.20 percentage points higher than that of the original YOLOv8. The number of parameters of the CBS-YOLOv8 model after distillation and compression decreased by 75.42%
and the detection accuracy only dropped by 0.45percentage points
meeting the lightweight requirements while maintaining the detection accuracy.
