Abstract
Systems, methods, for three-dimensional (“3D”) and computer-readable media fluid scanning are provided. According to some embodiments, there is provided a method that may include adding a first predetermined amount of fluid into a container, measuring a first fluid height in the container after the adding the first predetermined amount of fluid, adding a second predetermined amount of fluid into the container when the first predetermined amount of fluid is in the container, measuring a second fluid height in the container after the adding the second predetermined amount of fluid, emptying the fluid from the container.
Claims6
A method comprising:
- adding a first predetermined amount of fluid into a container;
- measuring a first fluid height in the container after the adding the first predetermined amount of fluid;
- adding a second predetermined amount of fluid into the container when the first predetermined amount of fluid is in the container;
- measuring a second fluid height in the container after the adding the second predetermined amount of fluid;
- emptying the fluid from the container;
- positioning an object into the container at a first orientation with respect to the container;
- re-adding the first predetermined amount of fluid into the container when the object is positioned in the container at the first orientation;
- measuring a third fluid height in the container after the re-adding the first predetermined amount of fluid;
- re-adding the second predetermined amount of fluid into the container when the object is positioned in the container at the first orientation and when the first predetermined amount of fluid is in the container;
- measuring a fourth fluid height in the container after the re-adding the second predetermined amount of fluid;
- and
- generating a three-dimensional image of the object using the first measured fluid height, the second measured fluid height, the third measured fluid height, and the fourth measured fluid height.
A method comprising:
- measuring fluid displacement of an object within a container at various orientations of the object with respect to the container;
- populating a linear model with the fluid displacement measurements;
- and
- solving the linear model to obtain a solution for the mass density of the object.
