Improved techniques for quantification of detected gases are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving infrared radiation from a scene at a sensor array comprising first and second sets of infrared sensors associated with first and second wavelength ranges of the infrared radiation, respectively. The method also includes capturing first and second images by the first and second sets of infrared sensors, respectively. The method also includes detecting a background object in the first image. The method also includes tracking the background object to identify the background object in the second image. The method also includes updating a radiometric scene map with first and second radiometric values associated with the first and second images and correlated to a location of the background object in the scene. The method also includes performing gas quantification using the radiometric scene map. Additional systems and methods are also provided.

A method and system are provided for determining gas concentration at a region of a planetary surface. A gas filter correlation radiometry (GFCR) system, provided at a location above a planetary surface, includes a processor and a GFCR sensor having a first gas cell containing a target gas and a second gas cell that does not contain the target gas. Using the GFCR sensor, first images of a region of the planetary surface are generated via capture through the first gas cell and second images of the region are generated via capture through the second gas cell. Using the processor, ratio images are generated using the first images and the second images. Concentration of the target gas over known altitude variations of the region is determined where the concentration of the target gas is a function of the ratio images and the altitude variations of the region.
