Tank gauge

A method of safely performing storage tank measurements using a tank storage measurement device, the method comprising:

• obtaining an image of a tank at the tank storage measurement device;
• identifying boundaries of the tank in the image at the tank storage measurement device;
• based on differences represented in the image, identifying a qualitative level for a substance in the tank at the tank storage measurement device;
• based on the boundaries of the tank in the image and the identified qualitative level for a substance in the tank, generating a quantitative representation of the level of the substance using the identified boundaries and identified qualitative level of the substance;
• and
• displaying on a display screen of the tank storage measurement device the generated quantitative representation of the level of the substance in the tank.

A tank storage measurement device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to configure the computer system to measure tank storage, including instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to perform at least the following:
• obtain an image of a tank at the tank storage measurement device;
• identify boundaries of the tank in the image at the tank storage measurement device;
• based on differences represented in the image, identify a qualitative level for a substance in the tank at the tank storage measurement device;
• based on the boundaries of the tank in the image and the identified qualitative level for a substance in the tank, generate a quantitative representation of the level of the substance using the identified boundaries and identified qualitative level of the substance;
• and
• display on a display screen of the tank storage measurement device the generated quantitative representation of the level of the substance in the tank.
