Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are described for calibrating an imaging or LIDAR based gas monitoring system for efficiently scanning for gas plumes. In an example, a calibration workflow that improves the accuracy of transformations from observed points in a particular camera frame to a coordinate system that is fixed with respect to the ground, such as a set of latitude, longitude, and height values; or a spherical polar coordinate system centered at the camera where the zenith is perpendicular to the ground.
