Mobile gas and chemical imaging camera
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring the presence of one or more target gases, the method comprising:
- receiving image data from a plurality of IR imaging systems, each IR imaging system configured to capture infrared images of the one or more target gases in real-time and to associate each captured infrared image with a location at which the one or more target gases are present; and
processing the received image data to identify the location at which the one or more target gases is detected.

Abstract
In one embodiment, an infrared (IR) imaging system for determining a concentration of a target species in an object is disclosed. The imaging system can include an optical system including an optical focal plane array (FPA) unit. The optical system can have components defining at least two optical channels thereof, said at least two optical channels being spatially and spectrally different from one another. Each of the at least two optical channels can be positioned to transfer IR radiation incident on the optical system towards the optical FPA. The system can include a processing unit containing a processor that can be configured to acquire multispectral optical data representing said target species from the IR radiation received at the optical FPA. Said optical system and said processing unit can be contained together in a data acquisition and processing module configured to be worn or carried by a person.
