Solar Panel Dust Monitoring System

Abstract

The current residential solar panels lack an adequate monitoring system, which hinders their optimal utilization. This research aims to design an Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring system and employ machine learning techniques to predict the current and voltage generated by solar panels. Experimental studies have revealed a correlation between dust accumulation and the current output of solar panels. The proposed system facilitates the prediction of the optimal time for cleaning solar panels.

Objective

ประเทศไทยนั้นเป็นประเทศในเขตร้อนที่เหมาะสมต่อการติดตั้งโซลาร์เซลล์เป็นอย่างมาก แต่เนื่องด้วยปริมาณฝุ่นเพิ่มขึ้นในทุกๆ ปี ซึ่งปริมาณฝุ่นนี้มีผลกระทบต่อแผงโซลาร์เซลล์ จึงมีแนวคิดในการพัฒนาระบบติดตามดูแลแผงสำหรับครัวเรือน ที่โดยส่วนใหญ่ไม่ได้มีการดูแลอย่างเหมาะสม

SignGen: An LLM-Based Thai Sign Language Generator

The Thai Sign Language Generation System aims to create a comprehensive 3D modeling and animation platform that translates Thai sentences into dynamic and accurate representations of Thai Sign Language (TSL) gestures. This project enhances communication for the Thai deaf community by leveraging a landmark-based approach using a Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQVAE) and a Large Language Model (LLM) for sign language generation. The system first trains a VQVAE encoder using landmark data extracted from sign videos, allowing it to learn compact latent representations of TSL gestures. These encoded representations are then used to generate additional landmark-based sign sequences, effectively expanding the training dataset using the BigSign ThaiPBS dataset. Once the dataset is augmented, an LLM is trained to output accurate landmark sequences from Thai text inputs, which are then used to animate a 3D model in Blender, ensuring fluid and natural TSL gestures. The project is implemented using Python, incorporating MediaPipe for landmark extraction, OpenCV for real-time image processing, and Blender’s Python API for 3D animation. By integrating AI, VQVAE-based encoding, and LLM-driven landmark generation, this system aspires to bridge the communication gap between written Thai text and expressive TSL gestures, providing the Thai deaf community with an interactive, real-time sign language animation platform.

Tree Planting Application for Dormitories

This project involves the development of a plant care system for dormitories using IoT (Internet of Things). The system is implemented through programming on an ESP-32 board and controlled via sensors for automated watering. The commands are operated through smartphones, supporting both iOS and Android. It is expected that this project will make plant care in dormitories easier and more convenient.
