Abstract
To accurately evaluate roof resources for distributed PV systems, a method based on the fusion of laser and image is proposed. First, ResFAUnet, which integrates transfer learning and multi-scale features, is used to segment the exterior outline of the building roof. Then, the building roof is finely segmented using MAS-PointMLP. Finally, the characteristics of the roof are calculated based on the point cloud processing algorithm, the arrangement of photovoltaic modules is realized based on the image processing algorithm, and the solar radiation and power generation are calculated based on the SHORTWAVE-C model. The proposed ResFAUnet can effectively segment the outer contour of the building roof, and the improved MAS-PointMLP network achieves 87.78% in the Mean Intersection over Union (MIoU), 1.14% higher than the original PointMLP. The average error between the annual total radiation of the roof and that of the database of Copernicus atmospheric monitoring service is 7.4%, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
