A novel Acoustic Fluid Level Estimation Method Based on Evidence Fusion Mechanism

Abstract

In order to reduce the missed detection error and the systematic error caused by acoustic resonance fluid level detection, liquid level estimation method based on evidence fusion mechanism is designed. It establishes a two dimensional dynamic system model of the standingwavelength. The state evidence of wavelength is obtained through the random set description of evidence, and the extension principle of random set is used to get the observation evidence ofwavelength. The evidential reasoning (ER) rule and dependent evidence fusion are used to fuse those evidence, and the estimation value of fluid level can be calculated from fused result based on pignistic expectation. The corresponding liquid level estimation experiment illustrates the validity and feasibilityof the proposed method.
