Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer program code thereon that, in execution with at least one processor, configures the computer program product for:
receiving probe temperature data from a temperature probe, wherein the probe temperature data is indicative of an external environment of an imaging system;
receiving first infrared (IR) image data from a first IR imaging device of a field of view of the first IR imaging device;
determining background temperature data based upon the first IR image data, wherein the background temperature data comprises a first temperature for each pixel from amongst a plurality of pixels associated with the first IR image data;
determining gas temperature data based upon the probe temperature data, wherein the gas temperature data comprises a second temperature for each pixel from amongst the plurality of pixels associated with the first IR image data;
determining a thermal contrast for each pixel based upon a comparison between the background temperature data and the gas temperature data; and
determining a detection limit for each pixel as a function of the thermal contrast for each pixel and based on a radiative transfer model.
