Description : Command line programs for Particle Image Velocimetry
A collection of programs for recording and interrogating images that
are generated during a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)
experiment. This is a technique to obtain the velocity field of a
fluid flow quantitatively and is performed by tracking tracer
particles that have been seeded to a fluid. The technique is also
applied for observing deformations at surfaces of (solid) bodies. The
package contains:
.
an image recording program that uses an IEEE1394 (Firewire)
IIDC-compliant camera and a program for triggering the camera with a
light source (mostly a double cavity Nd-YAG laser). Trigger pulses
are sent over the parallel port of the computer using RealTimeLinux
and RTAI.
.
an image processing program for typical filtering and manipulation
routines that may be convenient for PIV.
.
an image interrogation program resulting into estimators of particle
image displacements.
.
validation programs to test on outliers, peak-locking effect and
velocity gradients.
.
post-processing programs for data manipulation (flipping, rotation
etc), spatial and time scaling, calculation of spatial averages and
derivatived quantities from the PIV data, like vorticity and strain.
.
miscelaneous programs and scripts to perform image format conversion,
batch-processing, pipeline processing (image evaluation, validation and
post-processing at once), calculation of time averages from a series
of PIV data sets, data-visualization and data-manipulation.
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 3.1
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968)
I packaged this software together with the belonging libgpiv package and
an additional GTK/Gnome GUI program gpiv. As upstream author a am
interested to build and maintain the package. Of course, help and
comments are welcome.
