Semantic Segmentation for a Solar-Panel Inspection Drone
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Fine-tune a U-Net for pixel-level solar-panel segmentation on drone images, then evaluate IoU and deliver a field memo. Earn a verifiable certificate.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Train a panel-segmentation model that achieves at least 0.80 IoU on the held-out test set and recommend the next data-collection priorities.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Fine-tune a small segmentation model on a real dataset
- Design augmentations that mimic the deployment distribution
- Evaluate segmentation with IoU and qualitative inspection
- Recommend data-collection priorities from error analysis
