  • Publication number: 20220170810
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220165162
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods including receiving, by a processor having addressable memory, a spatial location of one or more known assets; determining, by the processor, one or more clusters based on the received spatial location of the one or more known assets; determining, by the processor, a bound for each asset of the one or more known assets in each cluster; and determining, by the processor, a flight plan for an aerial vehicle for each cluster, where the flight plan surveys each asset in each cluster.
