Advanced evaluation algorithms for standard and dual plane particle image velocimetry.
9th international symposium on applications of laser techniques, 1998
Abstract: The widely-used evaluation algorithms1 for PIV recordings have some
short comings, in that they introduce superfluous statistical and
systematical errors. For example, they introduce the so-called
"peak-locking" effect. These errors can be significantly reduced by
using better algorithms. The following considerably improved analysis
and algorithms will be described and demonstrated on real PIV
recordings: Analysis of errors of CCD's and the electric transmission
of the video signal. An FFT-based cross correlation algorithm using
completely free-shaped and free-sized interrogation windows which
exhibits the same accuracy as an optimally programmed direct
correlation. A Gaussian fit algorithm using different weights forthe
values in the correlation plane due to the error distribution of
correlation coefficients.
