   This paper presents an optimized 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for real-time classification of natural gas leaks using infrared imaging. The proposed model achieves a high accuracy of 99.75% through the application of advanced preprocessing techniques including Running Average, Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM), Moving Average, and Background Subtraction. To enable efficient deployment on edge devices, the model was optimized using smaller image sizes (Half Size and Quarter Size), maintaining above 99% accuracy while significantly reducing computational requirements. The system demonstrates robust performance for industrial methane gas leak detection applications, providing a practical solution for real-time monitoring and safety applications.
