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.
Claims20
A system for calibrating measured fill-level of a container, the system comprising:
- one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- obtain fill-level information for the container, the fill-level information characterizing a substance level of one or more substances within the container at different moments;
- determine a first substance level at a first moment based on the fill-level information;
- determine a first corresponding filtered substance level for the first moment based on multiple substance levels at multiple moments preceding the first moment;
- obtain a measurement disruption event criterion for detecting a measurement disruption event for the container, the measurement disruption event criterion being satisfied based on a substance level at a moment being smaller than a corresponding filtered substance level and a difference between the substance level at the moment and the corresponding filtered substance level exceeding a difference threshold;
- detect an occurrence of the measurement disruption event at the first moment based on the measurement disruption event criterion and a comparison of the first substance level with the first corresponding filtered substance level, wherein the first substance level is smaller than the first corresponding filtered substance level and the difference between the first substance level and the first corresponding filtered substance level exceeds the difference threshold;
- and
- responsive to detection of the occurrence of the measurement disruption event at the first moment, calibrate the substance level characterized by the fill-level information.
