Thermal image to grayscale

% Read the thermal image file

thermal_image = imread('solar_thermal_image.jpg');

% Convert the image to grayscale

gray_image = rgb2gray(thermal_image);

% Display the grayscale image

imshow(gray_image);

Explaination

The code above reads in an image file named "solar_thermal_image.jpg" and stores it
as a variable called "thermal_image". This image is assumed to be a thermal image,
which typically captures the intensity of heat radiation emitted by objects.

The next line of code converts the thermal image to grayscale by using the
"rgb2gray" function provided by MATLAB. This function converts an RGB (Red Green
Blue) image to a grayscale image using a weighted average of the R, G, and B color
channels.

Finally, the "imshow" function is used to display the resulting grayscale image,
which is stored in the "gray_image" variable. The image is displayed in a new
figure window.

In summary, the code reads in a thermal image, converts it to grayscale, and

displays the resulting grayscale image.

2. grayscale image to intensity adjusted image

% Read the grayscale image

gray_image = imread('gray_image.jpg');

% Adjust the intensity of the image with a specified output range

adjusted_image = imadjust(gray_image, [0.2 0.8]);

% Display the adjusted image

imshow(adjusted_image);

Explaination

The code above reads in a grayscale image file named "gray_image.jpg" and stores it
as a variable called "gray_image".

The next line of code uses the "imadjust" function provided by MATLAB to adjust the
intensity of the grayscale image. The function takes two arguments: the input image
to be adjusted (in this case, the "gray_image" variable), and a two-element vector
specifying the output intensity range. In this case, the output range is set to
[0.2 0.8], which means that the lowest 20% of pixel intensities will be mapped to
0, and the highest 20% of pixel intensities will be mapped to 1. The remaining
intensities will be linearly scaled between 0.2 and 0.8. This type of adjustment is
often used to increase the contrast of an image.

Finally, the "imshow" function is used to display the adjusted image, which is
stored in the "adjusted_image" variable. The image is displayed in a new figure
window.

In summary, the code reads in a grayscale image, adjusts its intensity using the
"imadjust" function with a specified output range, and displays the resulting
adjusted image.

3. intensity adjusted image to Morphological dilated

% Read the intensity adjusted image

adjusted_image = imread('adjusted_image.jpg');

% Define the structuring element for dilation

se = strel('disk', 3);

% Perform morphological dilation on the image

dilated_image = imdilate(adjusted_image, se);

% Display the dilated image

imshow(dilated_image);

Explaination

The code above reads in an intensity-adjusted image file named "adjusted_image.jpg"

and stores it as a variable called "adjusted_image".

The next line of code defines a structuring element called "se" that will be used
for morphological dilation. In this case, the structuring element is a disk with a
radius of 3 pixels. Morphological dilation is a mathematical operation that expands
the boundaries of regions in an image.

The following line of code performs morphological dilation on the intensity-

adjusted image using the "imdilate" function provided by MATLAB. The function takes
two arguments: the input image to be dilated (in this case, the "adjusted_image"
variable), and the structuring element to use for dilation (in this case, the "se"
variable).

Finally, the "imshow" function is used to display the dilated image, which is
stored in the "dilated_image" variable. The image is displayed in a new figure
window.

In summary, the code reads in an intensity-adjusted image, performs morphological

dilation using a structuring element, and displays the resulting dilated image. The
morphological dilation operation is often used to smooth the edges of objects in an
image or to fill in small gaps between adjacent regions.

4. Morphological dilated image to Cell structured removed image

% Read the dilated image

dilated_image = imread('dilated_image.jpg');

% Convert the image to binary

binary_image = imbinarize(dilated_image);

% Remove small connected components (cell structures) from the binary image
cleaned_image = bwareaopen(binary_image, 1000);
% Convert the binary image back to grayscale
removed_image = uint8(cleaned_image) .* dilated_image;

% Display the resulting image

imshow(removed_image);

explaination

The code above reads in a dilated image file named "dilated_image.jpg" and stores
it as a variable called "dilated_image".

The next line of code converts the dilated image to a binary image using the
"imbinarize" function provided by MATLAB. This function takes one argument, which
is the input image to be binarized. The function uses a thresholding algorithm to
convert the image to black and white, where pixels with intensities above a certain
threshold are set to white (1) and pixels with intensities below the threshold are
set to black (0).

The following line of code removes small connected components (cell structures)
from the binary image using the "bwareaopen" function provided by MATLAB. This
function takes two arguments: the binary image to be processed (in this case, the
"binary_image" variable), and a scalar specifying the maximum size of connected
components to be removed (in this case, 1000 pixels). This operation is often used
to remove noise or small objects from a binary image.

The next line of code converts the binary image back to grayscale by multiplying it
element-wise with the dilated image (which is converted to an unsigned 8-bit
integer using the "uint8" function). The resulting image has the same dimensions as
the original dilated image, but with the small connected components removed.

Finally, the "imshow" function is used to display the resulting image, which is
stored in the "removed_image" variable. The image is displayed in a new figure
window.

In summary, the code reads in a dilated image, converts it to a binary image,

removes small connected components from the binary image, converts the binary image
back to grayscale, and displays the resulting image with the small structures
removed. This type of image processing is often used in applications such as cell
counting or segmentation.

5. Cell structured removed image to Edges of the image

% Read the cell-structure removed image and convert to grayscale

removed_image = rgb2gray(imread('removed_image.jpg'));

% Extract the edges of the image using the Canny method

edge_image = edge(removed_image, 'Canny');

% Display the edges of the image

imshow(edge_image);

Explaination

The code above reads in an image file named "removed_image.jpg" and converts it to
grayscale using the "rgb2gray" function provided by MATLAB. The resulting grayscale
image is stored as a variable called "removed_image".

The next line of code extracts the edges of the image using the Canny edge
detection method provided by MATLAB. The "edge" function takes two arguments: the
input image to be processed (in this case, the "removed_image" variable), and the
edge detection method to be used (in this case, the 'Canny' method). The Canny
method is a popular edge detection technique that uses a series of image filtering
operations to detect edges.

Finally, the "imshow" function is used to display the resulting edge image, which
is stored in the "edge_image" variable. The image is displayed in a new figure
window.

In summary, the code reads in an image with small cell structures removed, converts
it to grayscale, extracts the edges of the image using the Canny edge detection
method, and displays the resulting edge image. Edge detection is often used in
computer vision applications such as object detection and segmentation, where edges
can be used as features to identify and distinguish objects in an image.

6. from edge file to faultdtection

% Read the image and convert to grayscale

img = rgb2gray(imread('solar_thermal_image.jpg'));

% Detect edges in the image using the Canny algorithm

edgeImg = edge(img, 'Canny');

% Fill in any gaps in the edges using morphological closing

se = strel('disk', 5);
closedEdgeImg = imclose(edgeImg, se);

% Label connected regions in the image

regionLabels = bwlabel(closedEdgeImg);

% Compute properties of the labeled regions

regionProps = regionprops(regionLabels, 'Area', 'Eccentricity', 'Solidity',
'Extent');

% Define thresholds for each property to identify faulty regions

areaThreshold = 100;
eccentricityThreshold = 0.9;
solidityThreshold = 0.5;
extentThreshold = 0.5;

% Identify faulty regions based on the property thresholds

faultyRegions = find([regionProps.Area] > areaThreshold & ...
[regionProps.Eccentricity] < eccentricityThreshold & ...
[regionProps.Solidity] < solidityThreshold & ...
[regionProps.Extent] < extentThreshold);

% Overlay the identified faulty regions on the original image

overlayImg = imoverlay(img, ismember(regionLabels, faultyRegions), [1 0 0]);

% Display the original image and the overlay image side by side
figure;
subplot(1,2,1);
imshow(img);
title('Original Image');
subplot(1,2,2);
imshow(overlayImg);
title('Faulty Regions');
explaination

The code above reads in a thermal image and converts it to grayscale using the
rgb2gray function. Then, it applies the Canny edge detection algorithm using the
edge function to detect the edges in the image. Any gaps in the edges are then
filled in using morphological closing with a disk-shaped structuring element of
radius 5 using the imclose function.

Next, the code uses bwlabel to label the connected regions in the closed edge
image, and regionprops to compute various properties (Area, Eccentricity, Solidity,
and Extent) for each labeled region. These properties are used to define thresholds
for identifying faulty regions based on the following conditions: area greater than
100, eccentricity less than 0.9, solidity less than 0.5, and extent less than 0.5.

The code then uses the find function to identify the regions that satisfy these
conditions and stores them in the faultyRegions variable. Finally, it uses
imoverlay to overlay the identified faulty regions on the original image in red
color and displays the original image and the overlay image side by side using
subplot and imshow functions.

In summary, the code detects faulty regions in a thermal image using a combination
of edge detection, morphological operations, and region analysis techniques. This
type of analysis can be useful in identifying and localizing defective areas in
thermal images and could be used, for example, in the inspection of solar panels
for defects.

7. to address and locate to fault detection

% Read in the image and convert to grayscale

img = imread('solar_thermal_image.jpg');
img_gray = rgb2gray(img);

% Enhance contrast using histogram equalization

img_eq = histeq(img_gray);

% Detect edges using Canny edge detector

img_edges = edge(img_eq, 'Canny');

% Threshold the edge image to obtain a binary image

img_thresh = img_edges > 0.2 * max(img_edges(:));

% Clean up the image using morphological operations

se = strel('disk', 2);
img_dilate = imdilate(img_thresh, se);
img_erode = imerode(img_dilate, se);

% Identify regions corresponding to faults such as hotspots and cracks

props = regionprops(img_erode, 'Area', 'BoundingBox', 'Centroid');
for i = 1:length(props)
% Filter out small regions that are likely noise
if props(i).Area > 50
% Calculate the aspect ratio of the bounding box
aspect_ratio = props(i).BoundingBox(3) / props(i).BoundingBox(4);
% Check if the aspect ratio is above a certain threshold, indicating a
crack or hotspot
if aspect_ratio > 2
% Draw a rectangle around the fault and label it as a crack or hotspot
 img = insertShape(img, 'Rectangle', props(i).BoundingBox, 'LineWidth',
2, 'Color', 'red');
img = insertText(img, [props(i).BoundingBox(1) +
props(i).BoundingBox(3)/2, props(i).BoundingBox(2) + props(i).BoundingBox(4)/2],
'Crack', 'TextColor', 'red', 'BoxOpacity', 0.7, 'FontSize', 14);
else
img = insertShape(img, 'Rectangle', props(i).BoundingBox, 'LineWidth',
2, 'Color', 'yellow');
img = insertText(img, [props(i).BoundingBox(1) +
props(i).BoundingBox(3)/2, props(i).BoundingBox(2) + props(i).BoundingBox(4)/2],
'Hotspot', 'TextColor', 'yellow', 'BoxOpacity', 0.7, 'FontSize', 14);
end
end
end

% Display the image with faults identified

imshow(img);
end

% Display the image with hotspots and cracks labeled

imshow(thermal_image);
title(sprintf('%d hotspots and %d cracks detected', num_hotspots, num_cracks));

explaination

This code segment performs fault detection in a thermal image of a solar panel.
Here is an explanation of the code:

a. The original image is read in and converted to grayscale.

b. The contrast is enhanced using histogram equalization.
c. Edges are detected using the Canny edge detector.
d. The edge image is thresholded to obtain a binary image.
e. The binary image is cleaned up using morphological operations (dilation and
erosion).
f. Regions corresponding to faults such as hotspots and cracks are identified using
the regionprops function, which calculates various properties of the connected
components in the binary image.
g. For each identified region, the aspect ratio of the bounding box is calculated,
and if it exceeds a certain threshold, the region is labeled as a crack; otherwise,
it is labeled as a hotspot.
h. The original image is overlaid with rectangles around the identified regions,
and labels indicating whether the regions are hotspots or cracks are added.
i. The resulting image is displayed with the identified faults labeled.

Finally, the code displays the image with the hotspots and cracks labeled, along
with the number of hotspots and cracks detected.
