Abstract

Systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional gas map includes a remote vehicle including reflective material. A positioning stage including multidimensional movement to track the remote vehicle. A light head to reflect light off of the remote vehicle. A controller to analyze received light to determine gas content and generate a three-dimensional gas map.

Claims (6)

1. A system for three-dimensional gas mapping, comprising:

a remote vehicle including reflective material on an exterior surface;

a positioning stage including multidimensional movement to track the remote vehicle;

a light head to reflect light off of the remote vehicle; and

a controller to analyze received light from the remote vehicle to determine gas content;

wherein the reflective material includes a diamond grade reflective tape.
