  • CALIBRATING MEASURED FILL-LEVEL OF A CONTAINER BASED ON MEASUREMENT DISRUPTION EVENT DETECTION
    Publication number: 20200284641
    Abstract: Substance level of a container at a moment may be measured. Filtered substance level for the moment may be determined based on multiple substance levels of the container at multiple moments preceding the moment. An occurrence of a measurement disruption event at the moment may be detected based on the substance level being smaller than the filtered substance level and the difference between the substance level and the filtered substance level exceeding a difference threshold. Responsive to detection of the occurrence of the measurement disruption event, the substance level may be calibrated.
