Abstract
Traditional DPIV (Digital Particle Image Velocimetry) methods are mostly based on area-correlation (Willert, C. E., 1991). Though proven to be very time-consuming and very much error prone, they are widely adopted because of they are conceptually simple and easily implemented, and also because there are few alternatives. This paper proposes a non-correlation, conceptually new, fast and efficient approach for DPIV, which takes the nature of flow into consideration. An Incompressible Affined Flow Model (IAFM) is introduced to describe a flow that incorporates rational restraints into the computation. This IAFM, combined with a modified optical flow method-named Total Optical Flow Computation (TOFC), provides a linear system solution to DPIV. Experimental results on real images showed our method to be a very promising approach for DPIV.
