Photovoltaic panel recognition method, ground station, control apparatus, and unmanned aerial vehicle

A ground station, comprising:

• a communication interface, configured to obtain a grayscale image of an infrared image captured by a camera mounted on the UAV, the grayscale image including an image of a photovoltaic panel;
• and
• one or more processors, the one or more processors operating individually or in collaboration, and the communication interface being connected to the processor, the processor being configured to:
• perform edge extraction processing on an image in the grayscale image to obtain a monochrome image including a plurality of horizontal lines and a plurality of vertical lines, the horizontal lines being lines in a first direction, an average length of the lines in the first direction being greater than a preset length, the vertical lines being lines in a second direction, and an average length of the lines in the second direction being less than the preset length;
• and
• identify the photovoltaic panel in the monochrome image based on a relative position relationship between the horizontal lines and the vertical lines in the monochrome image.
