Abstract

In this work, modern machine learning methods are compared against traditional image processing techniques, for the purpose of estimating the level of coffee beans in a transparent tank fitted to a coffee machine. Measurements using both approaches are compared against manual level measurements. The resulting algorithm are analysed for repeatability under scene variations, such as orientation of the tank with respect to the camera and the distribution of coffee beans.
