1. An imaging system comprising:
a first infrared (IR) imaging device configured to generate first IR image data of a field of view of the first IR imaging device, wherein the first IR image data includes one or more data entries associated with a fugitive emission from an emission source; and
a computing device operably connected with the first IR imaging device, wherein the computing device is configured to:
receive the first IR image data from the first IR imaging device;
generate spectral absorption data based upon the first IR image data;
determine a gas amount associated with the fugitive emission based upon the spectral absorption data;
determine a leak rate and a leak duration of the fugitive emission based upon the determined gas amount;
determine a total emission loss of the fugitive emission from the emission source based upon the determined leak rate and leak duration; and
receive a user input indicative of one or more of an open state and a closed state of the emission source.
