Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods including an aerial vehicle having a global positioning system (GPS) and at least one trace-gas sensor configured to generate gas data; and a processor having addressable memory, the processor configured to: determine a flight envelope based on a received spatial location, a received spatial location of the one or more potential gas sources, a received desired level of confidence, and a received wind data; determine a flight path for the aerial vehicle, where the flight path covers a portion of the determined flight envelope; and determine based on a received gas data whether a gas leak is present in the received spatial location to the received desired level of confidence.

Claims (43)

1. A system comprising:

a processor having addressable memory, the processor configured to:

receive a spatial location of one or more potential gas sources;

receive a wind data for the received spatial location;

determine a flight envelope encompassing one or more potential plume envelopes based the received spatial location of the one or more potential gas sources and the received wind data.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

an aerial vehicle; and

at least one trace-gas sensor disposed on the aerial vehicle, the trace-gas sensor configured to generate gas data.

3. The system of claim 2 , further comprising:

a navigation system disposed on the aerial vehicle to determine a location of the at least one trace-gas sensor.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the navigation system is a global positioning system.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a desired level of confidence for detecting gas leaks from the one or more potential gas sources.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein determining the flight envelope encompassing the one or more potential plume envelopes is further based on the received desired level of confidence.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a flight path for the aerial vehicle, wherein the flight path covers a portion of the determined flight envelope.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive the gas data from the at least one trace-gas sensors of the portion of the determined flight envelope.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine based on the received gas data whether a gas leak is present in the received spatial location to the received desired level of confidence.

10. A method comprising:

receiving, by a processor having addressable memory, a spatial location of one or more potential gas sources;

receiving, by the processor, a wind data for the received spatial location;

determining, by the processor, a flight envelope encompassing one or more potential plume envelopes based on the received spatial location of the one or more potential gas sources and the received wind data.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving, by the processor, a desired level of confidence for detecting gas leaks from the one or more potential gas sources.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein determining the flight envelope encompassing the one or more potential plume envelopes is further based on the received desired level of confidence.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

determining, by the processor, a flight path for an aerial vehicle having at least one trace-gas sensor, wherein the flight path covers a portion of the determined flight envelope.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving, by the processor, gas data from the at least one trace-gas sensors of the portion of the determined flight envelope.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

determining, by the processor, based on the received gas data whether a gas leak is present in the received spatial location to the received desired level of confidence.

16. A system comprising:

a portable device;

at least one trace-gas sensor disposed on the portable device, the trace-gas sensor configured to generate gas data;

a navigation system disposed on the portable device to determine a location of the at least one trace-gas sensor; and

a processor having addressable memory, the processor configured to:

receive a spatial location of one or more potential gas sources;

receive a wind data for the received spatial location;

determine a vehicle trajectory encompassing one or more potential plume envelopes based on the received spatial location of the one or more potential gas sources and the received wind data.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a desired level of confidence for detecting gas leaks from the one or more potential gas sources, wherein determining the vehicle trajectory encompassing the one or more potential plume envelopes is further based on the received desired level of confidence.
