To analyze the sloshing of fluid in a shaking table test, the water level response is generally measured by installing a water level gauge on the ceiling. However, depending on the measurement method used, there are limited measurement points and difficulties in measuring. In addition, it can cause severe noise. Therefore, a method for the simple and economical measurement of the water level response in a liquid storage tank is necessary. In this study, a method for measuring the water level response in a liquid storage tank using digital image processing was suggested, and a digital camcorder was used as a sensor for measuring the water level response, considering ease of use and economic feasibility. Image enhancement in the spatial domain was used to reduce noise in the fluid induced by the reflection of light and to sharpen the structure installed at the liquid storage tank. Therefore, a shaking table test was performed to validate the method of measuring the water level response in a liquid storage tank using digital image processing, and the result was compared to the result of measuring the response using a water level gauge.
