Abstract
A computer implemented method for determining a level of a medium in a container comprises the following steps carried out by computer hardware components: sending a plurality of pulses through a probe in the container; sensing responses caused by reflections of the pulses; determining a statistical model related to the medium in the container based on the responses; and determining the level of the medium in the container based on the statistical model.

Computer implemented method for determining a level of a medium in a container,
- the method comprising the following steps carried out by computer hardware components:
- sending a plurality of pulses through a probe in the container;
- sensing responses caused by reflections of the pulses;
- determining a statistical model related to the medium in the container based on the responses;
- and
- determining the level of the medium in the container based on the statistical model.
3 more elements
Probing system, comprising:
- an emitter configured to send a plurality of pulses through a probe in a container;
- a sensor configured to sense responses caused by reflections of the pulses;
- a determination circuit configured to determine a statistical model related to a medium in the container based on the responses, and to determine a level of the medium in the container based on the statistical model.
