Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a display monitor; and
an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control system operatively coupled to the display monitor, the UAV control system configured to be operatively coupled to a UAV to control any of an air speed, an altitude or a position of the UAV, the UAV including an emissions sensor and a position sensor, the UAV control system including:
an input module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processing device of the UAV control system, the input module configured to receive a first input and a second input, the first input associated with an incident location of an incident involving a hazardous substance, the second input associated with a measurement zone including the incident location;
a measurement zone module implemented in at least one of the memory or the processing device, the measurement zone module configured to generate a first set of geographic coordinates associated with a perimeter of the measurement zone based on the first input and the second input;
a flight path module implemented in at least one of the memory or the processing device, the flight path module configured to generate a second set of geographic coordinates associated with a flight path of the UAV based on the first input and the second input;
a sensor module implemented in at least one of the memory or the processing device, the sensor module configured to receive an emissions signal from the emissions sensor and a position signal from the position sensor;
a georectification module implemented in at least one of the memory or the processing device, the georectification module configured to generate a third set of geographic coordinates associated with the emissions signal based on at least the position signal and a sensor response time; and
a graphics module implemented in at least one of the memory or the processing device, the graphics module configured to display via the display monitor A) a satellite aerial map of a region including the incident location, B) a measurement zone image representing the measurement zone, the measurement zone image displayed on the satellite aerial map, and C) a plurality of emissions indicators on the satellite aerial map, the plurality of emissions indicators based on the emissions signal and the third set of geographic coordinates, the graphics module configured to adjust a size of each of the plurality of emissions indicators to correspond to a spatial resolution associated with the air speed of the UAV.
