Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a system and method for performing an inspection of an underwater environment. Embodiments may include providing an autonomous underwater vehicle (“AUV”) and performing an inspection of an underwater environment using the AUV. Embodiments may further include acquiring real-time sensor data during the inspection of the underwater environment and applying an active simultaneous localization and mapping (“SLAM”) algorithm during the inspection, wherein applying includes estimating one or more virtual landmarks based upon, at least in part, at least one past measurement and a current estimate of AUV activity.

Abstract: A method is provided for mitigating fugitive methane emission, which includes scanning a plurality of facilities for fugitive methane emission using an airborne sensor, and classifying the plurality of facilities based on results of the scanning. Optionally, further inspection of at least one facility of the plurality of facilities can be performed to detect and locate fugitive methane emission based on the classifying. Optionally, at least one facility can be selectively repaired based on the further inspection in order to mitigate fugitive methane emission. In another aspect, a planning workflow is provided that employs a clustering method to define cluster data representing a set of facility clusters in a geographical region that are associated with a particular base.
