Abstract
A system for remote detection of fluid leaks from a natural gas or oil pipeline including a laser light source for detecting a methane leak while sweeping in multiple directions, a Midwave Infrared (MWIR) detector optically coupled with the laser light source and a controller operatively connected to the laser light source and the MWIR detector for aggregating data collected by the laser light source and the MWIR using a nuropmophic flow detection algorithm including computational fluid dynamic models.
