Method and system for analyzing gas leak based on machine learning

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for measuring a gas concentration distribution, the method comprising:

• configuring an aerosol source at a first location to emit a gaseous aerosol;
• configuring a laser source to illuminate the gaseous aerosol with a laser sheet;
• obtaining, from a camera, an image of a reflection of the laser sheet from a plurality of particles of the gaseous aerosol;
• analyzing the image to quantify a three-dimensional concentration distribution of the gaseous aerosol associated with the first location;
• and
• solving, directly based on the three-dimensional concentration distribution and the first location, an inverse problem;
• and
• estimating, based on the solved inverse problem and an observed second gas concentration, a second location of a second gas source.
