Heretofore described liquid level emasuring device specific workflow is as follows:
Firstly, measuring the light intensity curve of array photoelectric device and preservation in unglazed situation, it is regarded as dark current noise,
During subsequent level gauging, the dark current noise is all first subtracted after reading light intensity curve, to prevent dark current noise pair
The influence of level sensing.
Then, carry out level gauging after opening light source, when level gauging can high speed repeatedly read same liquid level array light
The light intensity curve of electrical part simultaneously carries out signal averaging processing, for reducing dissipating in array photoelectric detector part and its driving circuit
The influence of grain noise, increases the accuracy of level gauging.
Then, liquid level is calculated after obtaining the light intensity comprising liquid level information, there are two ways to liquid level calculates, calculus of finite differences and threshold
Value method.
Calculus of finite differences is that the light intensity that the pixel light intensity of entire light intensity curve is subtracted previous position pixel (can also take opposite direction
Calculus of differences), obtaining a length is the difference curve that array photoelectric device vertical direction pixel quantity subtracts one, and difference is bent
The maximum location of pixels of line (the smallest location of pixels when backward difference) is liquid level position.Due to the presence of noise, a scale
Component curve reliability is lower, can increase difference order suitably to improve the reliability of liquid level identification.
Threshold method is to select suitable Intensity threshold, and first light intensity is lower than the threshold to array photoelectric part from top to bottom
