One aspect of the present disclosure relates to automatic imaging of photovoltaic devices using an aircraft (20). In one aspect, there is a method (440) of automatically imaging a PV array (310) using an aircraft (20), the PV array (310) corresponding to a target point (350) of the aircraft (20). The method (440) includes: positioning the aircraft (20) at one of the target points (350) corresponding to the PV array (310); and controlling the aircraft (20) to automatically maneuver between the target points (350) to capture a visual data set of the PV array (310). The automated maneuver includes: aligning a field of view (225) of a camera (222) of the aircraft (20) with PV array subsections of a PV array (310); determining a scanning direction (360) for moving the aircraft (20) between the target points (350); and capturing, using the camera (222), a visual data set of the PV array (310) starting from the PV array subsection as the aircraft (20) moves between the target points (350) along the scanning direction (360).

    本公开的一方面涉及使用飞行器(20)对光伏设备进行自动成像。在一方面,存在一种使用飞行器(20)对PV阵列(310)进行自动成像的方法(440),该PV阵列(310)对应于飞行器(20)的目标点(350)。所述方法(440)包括:将飞行器(20)定位在目标点(350)中对应于PV阵列(310)的一个目标点处;以及控制飞行器(20)在目标点(350)之间自动机动,以捕获PV阵列(310)的视觉数据集。该自动机动包括:将飞行器(20)的相机(222)的视场(225)与PV阵列(310)的PV阵列子区段对准;确定用于在目标点(350)之间移动飞行器(20)的扫描方向(360);以及当飞行器(20)沿着扫描方向(360)在目标点(350)之间移动时,使用相机(222)从PV阵列子区段开始捕获PV阵列(310)的视觉数据集。
