A volume measurement system uses volume element counting in determining the amount of a liquid such as fuel in an irregulary-shaped container such as a fuel tank which can have changing orientation. The container is conceptually divided up into a plurality of volume elements. An orientation sensor determines the orientation of the container or of the liquid surface, which is approximated as a plane. A computational or optical processor uses orientation data to project vectors representing the volume elements onto a direction normal to the liquid interface plane. These projected distances are then arithmetically or optically compared to the location of the liquid interface plane.

Dans un système de mesure de volume, on utilise le comptage d'éléments de volume pour déterminer la quantité d'un liquide, tel qu'un carburant, dans un récipient de forme irrégulière, tel qu'un réservoir de carburant, pouvant subir des changements d'orientation. Le récipient est divisé conceptuellement en plusieurs éléments de volume. Un capteur d'orientation détermine l'orientation du récipient ou de la surface du liquide, qui est approximativement définie comme un plan. Un processeur computationnel ou optique utilise les données d'orientation pour projeter les vecteurs représentant les éléments de volume, dans une direction perpendiculaire au plan de l'interface liquide. Les distances projetées sont ensuite comparées au plan arithmétique ou optique à la position du plan d'interface liquide.
