چکیده

Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV) aims at flow visualisation and measurement of flow dynamics in numerous applications, including hydrodynamics, combustion processes and aeronautical phenomena. The fluid is seeded with particles that follow the flow and efficiently scatter light. Traditionally, FFT-based correlation techniques have been used to estimate the displacements of the particles in a digital PIV sequence. Recently, an optical flow estimation technique [8] developed in computer vision has been successfully applied to DPIV. In this paper we study the DPIV-efficiency of another group of tracking approaches, the feature tracking techniques. Velocity fields obtained by several methods are compared for synthetic and real PIV sequences. It is concluded that feature tracking algorithms applied to DPIV are a useful alternative to both the correlation and the optical flow algorithms.1

Digital PIV : A Challenge for Feature Based Tracking 1 )

Motion tracking is an important step of the analysis of ow image sequences. However, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) techniques rarely use tracking methods developed in computer vision, they usually work with FFT and correlation based methods. Two major types of motion estimation algorithms exist: the optical ow and the feature based ones. Promising results have been obtained by applying optic...

Near Field Measurements of an Axisymmetric Turbulent Jet at Low Reynolds Numbers: A PIV and CTA Comparison

This paper presents a comparison between two commonly used velocity measurement techniques applied in experimental fluid dynamics: Constant Temperature Anemometry (CTA) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Previous studies have applied these techniques to the self-similar region of an axisymmetric jet which resides in the far-field. However, there is a lack of CTA to PIV comparison data in the...

3-d Least Squares Tracking in Time-resolved Tomographic Reconstruction of Dense Flow Marker Fields

Flow measurement techniques determine velocity vector fields in liquid or gas flows. In fluid mechanics, many methods are based on seeding particles to visualize the flow imaged by an adequate camera system. The tomo-PIV (tomographic particle image velocimetry) technique presented in this paper generates time-resolved volumetric reconstructions of a particle constellation from a limited number ...
