Abstract
The present invention concerns a method for determining the solar distribution in an area, the including, a phase for collecting data to form a training database, a phase for training a model on the basis of the training database to obtain a trained model, the input of the trained model being an image of an area seen from the sky and the output being a global cartography of the irradiance projected on each surface of the area imaged on the input image, and a phase for operating the trained model. The phase for operating the trained models includes, a step of receiving an image of an area seen from the sky, and a step of determining by the trained model a global cartography of the irradiance projected on each surface of the area imaged on the received image.
Claims11
A method for determining the solar distribution in an area, the method being implemented by a computer and comprising:
- a. a phase collecting data to form a training database, the collected data comprising at least:
- i. a plurality of images of different areas seen from the sky, at least some of the areas comprising specific elements suitable for the installation of solar panels, and
- ii. for each image, a global cartography of the irradiance projected on each surface of the area imaged on the image,
- b. a phase training a model on the basis of the training database to obtain a trained model, the only input of the trained model being a single two-dimensional image of an area seen from the sky and the output being a global cartography of the irradiance projected on each surface of the area imaged on the input image,
- c. a phase operating the trained model comprising:
- i. a step of receiving a two-dimensional image to be analyzed of an area seen from the sky, and
- ii. a step of determining by the trained model a global cartography of the irradiance projected on each surface of the area imaged on the image to be analyzed.
