anomalous dataset

The anomaly detection in photovoltaic (PV) cell electroluminescence (EL) image is of great significance for the vision-based fault diagnosis. Many researchers are committed to solving this problem, but a large-scale open-world dataset is required to validate their novel ideas. We build a PV EL Anomaly Detection (PVEL-AD) dataset for polycrystalline solar cell, which contains 36,543 near-infrared images with various internal defects and heterogeneous background. This dataset contains anomaly-free images and anomalous images with 10 different categories.
