Abstract:

The Cramér-Rao bound is an analytical expression that describes the minimum obtainable mean square error associated with a given estimate of a parameter. This paper presents a compact and simple form of the bound for restoration techniques such as an inverse or a Wiener filter estimate. We present both 1-D and 2-D examples.
