Infrared images of a vessel may be obtained and analyzed to determine the amount of sand in the vessel. Portions of the infrared images with low pixel values may be filtered out as depicting background (e.g., sky, ground). Portions of the infrared images with high pixel values may be filtered out as depicting portions of the vessel without sand. The number of pixels depicting the vessel and the number of pixel depicting portions of the vessel with sand may be used to monitor the amount of sand in the vessel and facilitate maintenance operations for the vessel.
