Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a system for remote imaging of explosive gases in an area. The method comprises: illuminating the area with a light source having a uniform light intensity distribution over an infrared wavelength range; acquiring images of the illuminated area with an image sensor through gas detection filters having bandpass central wavelength corresponding to absorption curves of target gases respectively; determining existence of the target gases based on the acquired images; predicting distribution of gas concertation for existing target gases respectively by using a non-linear prediction model; and constructing gas distribution images of the area based on the predicted distribution of gas concertation. The present invention can recognize different gases with overlapping absorption curves and provide more accurate prediction of gas concentrations.
