Interpreting two state instruments for intermediary values

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6230034

Interpolating data from instruments which produce only two distinct binary outputs is discussed. The problem of determining void fraction, given an instrument which produces only a liquid or a no-liquid output, is used to demonstrate three different methods of data interpolation. The three methods involve a form of time averaging. The methods are signal amplitude histogram, signal derivative, and signal derivative discriminator. The advantages, disadvantages, and accuracies of each method are described.
