Abstract
Water level measurement is highly demanding in IoT monitoring areas such as smart factory, smart farm, and smart fish farm. However, existing water level indicators are limited to be used in industrial fields as commercial products due to the high cost of sensors and the complexity of algorithms used. In order to solve these problems, our paper proposed methods using an infrared distance sensor as well as a hall sensor for the water level measurement, both of which are contactless smart sensors. Data errors caused by the inaccuracy of existing sensors were decreased by applying new simple structures so that versatility is enhanced. The performance of our method was validated using experiments based on simulations. We expect that our new water depth indicator can be extended to a general-purpose water level monitoring system based on IoT technology.
