Abstract
Gas source localization is vital in emergency scenarios to enable swift and effective responses. In this study, we introduce a gas source localization model leveraging the video vision transformer (ViViT). Utilizing synthetic time series diffusion data, the source grid is predicted by classifying the grid with the highest probability of gas occurrence within the diffusion data coverage. Through extensive experimentation using the NBC-RAMS simulator, we generate large datasets of gas diffusion under varied experimental conditions and meteorological environments, enabling comprehensive model training and evaluation. Our findings demonstrate that the ViViT outperforms other deep learning models in processing time series gas data, showcasing a superior estimation performance. Leveraging a transformer architecture, the ViViT exhibits a robust classification performance even in scenarios influenced by weather conditions or incomplete observations. Furthermore, we conduct an analysis of accuracy and parameter count across various input sequence lengths, revealing the ability of the ViViT to maintain high computational efficiency while achieving accurate source localization. These results underscore the effectiveness of the ViViT as a model for gas source localization, particularly in situations demanding a rapid response in real-world environments, such as gas leaks or attacks.
