    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods including receiving, by a processor (302) having addressable memory (340), a spatial location of one or more known assets (102, 306, 308, 310); determining, by the processor, one or more clusters (202) based on the received spatial location of the one or more known assets; determining, by the processor, a bound (312) for each asset of the one or more known assets in each cluster; and determining, by the processor, a flight plan (204) for an aerial vehicle (316) for each cluster, where the flight plan surveys each asset in each cluster.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods including a processor (402) having addressable memory (426), where the processor is configured to: determine one or more flight paths (204) for an aerial vehicle (202, 408), where the determined flight path (204) creates a continuous surface (206) about one or more potential gas sources of a survey site (210); receive a trace gas data from one or more trace gas sensors (412) of the aerial vehicle of the continuous surface (206) as the aerial vehicle (202, 408) flies the determined one or more flight paths (204); and determine based on the received trace gas data whether a gas leak is present in the received survey site (210, 404) and a rate of the gas leak if present in the survey site (210, 404).

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods including an aerial vehicle (816) having a global positioning system (GPS) (824) and at least one trace-gas sensor (822) configured to generate gas data; and a processor (802) having addressable memory (830), the processor configured to: determine a flight envelope (200) based on a received spatial location (804), a received spatial location of the one or more potential gas sources (806, 808, 810), a received desired level of confidence (812), and a received wind data (814); determine a flight path (300) for the aerial vehicle, where the flight path covers a portion (212) 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.
