COMPUTING EMISSION RATE FROM GAS DENSITY IMAGES

Systems and methods are described for calculating an emission rate of a fugitive gas based on a gas density image of the fugitive gas. In an example, a computing device receives a gas density image of a fugitive gas from a camera. The computing device determines how to optimize the fugitive gas in t...

Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are described for calculating an emission rate of a fugitive gas based on a gas density image of the fugitive gas. In an example, a computing device receives a gas density image of a fugitive gas from a camera. The computing device determines how to optimize the fugitive gas in the camera's field of view and instructions the camera to adjust its bearing and zoom accordingly. The camera captures one or more additional images of the fugitive gas, and the computing device stitches the images together where appropriate. The computing device then calculates the emission rate by delineating the fugitive gas in the image and determining a flux of the gas using one of various calculation methods.
