Abstract
With global environmental concerns reaching new heights, monitoring and quantifying gas emissions have become paramount. UAVs, due to their flexibility and adaptability, have emerged as a pivotal tool for this purpose. This paper endeavors to provide a comprehensive review and evaluation of the challenges and modern measurement techniques utilizing UAVs for gas emission assessments. Through a systematic study of relevant publications and technical reports, we review the current state-of-the-art systems and their applications in research and field missions. Additionally, we present a detailed discourse on the identified weaknesses and specificities of these UAV-based systems, elucidating potential avenues for enhancement.
