Module Segmentation: Grid Detection & Cell Extraction.
This is the CORE PROBLEM of the pipeline. Real-world EL module images contain
a grid of cells that must be individually extracted for defect analysis.
Approach:
1. Projection profiles: sum pixel intensities along rows/columns
→ peaks correspond to cell boundaries (dark gaps between cells)
2. Peak detection with adaptive parameters
3. Spacing analysis: validate peaks using periodicity
4. Busbar filtering: busbars create false peaks — detect and exclude them
5. Cell extraction: crop individual cells from detected grid
Handles:
- Full modules (6×10, 6×12, etc.)
- Half-cut cell modules
- Partial/zoomed images
- Low-contrast images
- Missing grid lines
Design decision: Projection-based approach over deep learning because:
- No training data needed for grid detection
- Deterministic and explainable
- Works across all module types without retraining
- Fast enough for real-time use
