A small hand held, battery operated infrared imaging spectrometer, Sherlock was developed by Pacific Advanced Technology with support from the US Department of Energy, the Gas Technology Institute, BP and seed money from the state of California. Shown here in the image is the Sherlock suspended from a numatic arm for easy portability around a processing plant. The Sherlock camera is battery operated with a LCD display for easy viewing the scene. The Sherlock can also be mounted on a tripod as shown below.

The Sherlock spectral imaging camera has been designed for remote gas leak detection, however, the architecture of the camera is versatile and can be applied to numerous other applications such as homeland security, chemical/biological agent detection, medical and pharmaceutical applications, as well as standard research and development. Currently under contract to the US Army PAT is developing an LWIR Sherlock for WMD detection and identification applications.

An example of the Sherlock gas imaging capability is demonstrated in the following video where you will see; first a propane gas from a vent stack, second a propane gas leak from a leaking valve stem, and third the gas leak false color enhanced using the real time processing capability of the Sherlock camera.

This is what you see when you look through the Sherlock at a gas leak. Those gases are invisible to the naked eye, but they are very harmful to people. However, as you can see, they are very easy for the Sherlock to see, which means you can fix chemical leaks very quickly at your facilities before they turn into major life-threatening disasters.
