Abstract
Abstract
The article reviews theoretical base and practical implementation of device, that allows to perform optical control of level and volume of tank filling with liquid. The device implements a method, based on analysis of liquid’s mirror image. This image is shot with a camera, randomly installed in the tank. The method is also based on tank’s sectional areas data at various filling levels. Mathematical model presented in the article establishes relationship between parameters described and target values of tank level and volume. To confirm theoretical principles, there are presented results of experimental research. Experimental studies were carried out using a prototype device, monitoring level and volume of a cylindrical tank, with a diameter of 700 mm and a height of 1000 mm.
