Abstract
Sub-resolution measurement of fuel in fuel tank. In an embodiment, data, which comprise discrete fuel levels in a fuel tank and fuel injection rates for an internal combustion engine, are received. The fuel injection rates are integrated over a traversed distance to produce a fuel consumption series, and the discrete fuel levels are clustered over the traversed distance to produce a fuel level series. The fuel consumption and fuel level series are synchronized into a model that is used to generate sub-resolution measurements of fuel levels between the discrete fuel levels.
