An interesting idea, I've been reading about this sort of thing,
stereology, the best way I can think to do it would be by using a pump
with a very constant flow (such as a syringe pump) then capture video
of the filling process. That way you don't have to construct a
machine vision system.

The problem you highlight (horizontal surfaces) would seem to put a
dampener on the idea, as many parts have them.
