On the universality of Keane & Adrian's valid detection probability in PIV

For the reliable estimation of velocity vector fields by means of particle image velocimetry (PIV), the cross-correlation functions calculated from the signal within each interrogation window must feature a distinct peak that represents the average shift of the particle image ensemble. A high valid detection probability (VDP) of the correct...

A new look on the “Valid Detection Probability” of PIV Vectors

For the reliable estimation of velocity vector field s by means of 2D and 3D particle image velocimetry (PIV), the cross-correlation functions calculated from the signal within each interrogation window must feature a distinct peak that represents the average shift of the particle image ensemble. A high valid detection probability (VDP) of the...

Time-resolved image analysis for turbulent flows

Classical Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) uses two representations of the particle image distribution to determine the displacement of the particle image pattern by spatial cross-correlation. The accuracy and the robustness are however limited by the fact that only two representations at t and t +?t are present. Thus, only a first order...
