1. A system for monitoring one or more installations comprising:
a plurality of optical imaging systems, each optical imaging system of the plurality of optical imaging systems comprising an array of optical detectors; and
processing electronics configured to process image data detected by the plurality of optical imaging systems, the processing electronics configured to:
detect one or more target species at the one or more installations based at least in part on the processed image data;
monitor a progression of a liquid leak over a period of time;
generate a system user interface comprising:
a mosaic image window illustrating a plurality of fields of view (FOVs) associated with a plurality of monitoring time periods,
a visible image window and an infrared image window associated with a same FOV from the plurality of FOVs according to the plurality of monitoring time periods, wherein the visible image window corresponds to a visible image and the infrared image window corresponds to an infrared image,
an events log panel that illustrates an events log associated with the plurality of optical imaging systems, each optical imaging system of the plurality of optical imaging systems being associated with an identifier,
a time-lapsed leak progression image that includes a color map overlaid on the visible image or the infrared image, wherein the color map indicates a residence time of the liquid leak, and
a summary image link; and
in response to receiving a user selection of the summary image link, generate a summary alarm image that presents a detected target species over a monitoring time period based at least in part on weighing concentrations of the detected target species from a plurality of frames captured by a FOV during the monitoring time period.
