Abstract: Detection of damage in the mooring systems of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) is essential to guarantee operational reliability and reduce corrective maintenance costs. However, the complex nature of environmental conditions, the high costs of data collection, and the rarity of damage events make it challenging to obtain extensive labelled datasets. As a result, addressing damage detection from limited labelled data is necessary, yet it remains a relatively under-explored area in the literature. To tackle these challenges, this paper introduces an image-transformed semi-supervised generative adversarial network (ITSGAN) technique based on deep generative models. The method transforms time series data into multichannel image representations, enabling deep learning models to more effectively capture both spatial and temporal features. By combining adversarial training with supervised learning, ITSGAN leverages both labelled and unlabelled data to improve damage detection ability, particularly in scenarios where labelled data is scarce. A comparative analysis with established models such as traditional semi-supervised GAN, Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) shows that ITSGAN consistently outperforms these models in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. It is also demonstrated that the proposed ITSGAN model preserves richer feature representations by transforming time series data into images, resulting in enhanced performance in damage detection tasks.
