introduction

National Center For Physical Acoustics, University of Mississippi
Oxford, Mississippi,  United States

EDPIV has been a computer software package for evaluating recordings of digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) since 1997. EDPIV PE 2009 is the latest update of the professional edition.    

FEATURES OF THE SOFTWARE

1. Device independent

2. Abundant image processing tools

3. Advanced evaluation algorithms

4. Flexible interrogation grid

5. Adaptive interrogation window

6. Suitable for all the LS, HID and LID recording modes

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE SOFTWARE

1. Evaluating a double exposed PIV recording

2. Evaluating a single exposed PIV recording pair

3. Evaluating a group of PIV recordings and statistically analyzing the results

4. Evaluating a group of PIV recordings of steady flow with average correlation method

5. Evaluating two-phase PIV recordings with digital mask technique

6. Evaluating LID PIV recordings with individual particle image pattern tracking method (hybrid PTV)

7. Evaluating LID PIV recordings with a particle image tracking technique

8. Tracking an individual particle image in successively recorded recordings

9. Tracking an image pattern in successively recorded recordings

10. Calibrating/evaluating distorted PIV recordings, e.g. from large-scale PIV tests

11. Calibrating/evaluating stereo PIV recordings

12. Calibrating stereo PIV system with a target shifting technique

13. Creating synthetic particle images for standard and stereo PIV simulation
