Cramer-Rao bounds for long-wave infrared gaseous plume quantification

The central parameter in the quantification of chemical vapor plumes via remote sensing is the mean concentration-path length (CL) product, which can be combined with scene geometry information to provide estimates of the absolute gas quantity present. We derive Cramer-Rao lower bounds on the varian...
