Survey of autonomous gas leak detection and quantification with snapshot infrared spectral imaging
Nathan Hagen
Abstract
Abstract We survey the current state of the art in industrial gas sensing, explaining how existing sensing techniques estimate gas concentration, column density, total volume, and leak rate. We especially focus on the application of snapshot infrared spectral imaging to gas detection and quantification, as this is the newest of the available techniques. After discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each measurement technique for deployment in autonomous sensing, we explain how autonomous detection systems are important to improving sensing capabilities in industrial facilities, and advancing the state of the art.
