Shading Ratio Impact on Photovoltaic Modules and Correlation with Shading Patterns

Efficient yet Accurate Models for Photovoltaic Modules with Shading Effects

Integration of depth modules: stereo and shading.

We studied the integration of image disparities, edge information, and shading in the three-dimensional perception of complex yet well-controlled images generated with a computer-graphics system. The images showed end-on views of flat- and smooth-shaded ellipsoids, i.e., images with and without intensity discontinuities (edges). A map of perceived depth was measured by adjusting a small stereo ...

Shading and Inverse Shading from Direct Illumination

An understanding of light and its interaction with matter is essential to produce images. As the modeling of light sources, light transport and light re ection improves, it becomes possible to render images with increasing realism. The central motivation behind this thesis is to improve realism in computer graphics images by more accurate local shading models and to assist the user to obtain th...

Photovoltaic Array Modeling under Uniform Irradiation and Partial Shading Condition

Received Sep 9, 2017 Revised Oct 28, 2017 Accepted Nov 15, 2017 Wind energy and solar energy are the prime energy sources which are being utilized for renewal energy. The performance of a photovoltaic (PV) array for solar energy is affected by temperature, irradiation, shading, and array configuration. Often, the PV arrays are shadowed, completely or partially, by the passing clouds, neighborin...

Real-time Shading: Hardware Shading Effects

In this part of the course we will review some examples of shading algorithms that we might want to implement in a real-time or interactive system. This will help us to identify common approaches for real-time shading systems and to acquire information about feature sets required for this kind of system. The shading algorithms we will look at fall into three categories: realistic materials for ...
