PIVlab 1.3

PIVlab version 1.3 is out!


New features:
  • Modify vector color
  • Apply to all frames in area / line extractions
  • Post-processing from commandline
  • Load user-generated masks
  • Plot only every nth vector
  •  Line Integral Convolution (LIC) feature from the Matlab Vector Field Visualization toolkit (http://sccn.ucsd.edu/~nima/)
  • Add display update between individual passes
  • Image preview during image selection
  • Modified interrogation area preview
  • Several small improvements

 Screenshots of some of the changes:

  1. where is the download link? I have a question related to the u and v . Are they the components to velocity magnitude and the related x,y are the co-ordinates for the u and v? and the units of u and v are in m/s?

  2. about the download link: i don't know. on the matlab file exchange page is still 1.2
    about your seconds question: yes, and yes.
    and you have to calibrate your results to have the velocities in m/s otherwise it's just pixels per frame/imageset.

    best,

  3. Hi, there is no version 1.3 out! :*(

    Please, provide a valid download link for it, since we're so desperately eager to see the changes you've made to it! ;)

  4. Hi there,
    I am still avaiting the approval to include the line integral convolution in PIVlab...

  6. Changes in next release:
    * Included units (e.g. "m", "m/s", "1/s" or "px", "px/frame", "1/frame" etc.) wherever possible
    * Export image as EPS
    * Modified "Export to Matlab Workspace" (all data available now)
    * Colorbar position can be adjusted
    To Do:
    * Experiment with parallel computing toolbox...

  7. good work .
    perhaps you could consider a couple of thigs:
    1º) signa-to-noyse fitering: susing the relationshi betwenn the the tow may pesk of cross-correlation function you can estimathe the goodness of the corelation and eliminate easyly n mor efficiently regions with no particles (signal to noise ratio near to 1)
    2º tophat filtering: it's a topoligical hight pas fitering for preprocessing very usefull with pixel like particles.

    I have implemente these modification in you last two relases. and they work quie well with PIV in flames.

  8. Hi,

    I would like to ask, how to change the grid step? Means, now I think that the step is equal 8 or 9. I would like to have smaller one.

    1. Hi, currently, the grid distance is calculated from the interrogation window size (50% overlap). If you want to have a finer grid, then you have to decrease the interrogation area in the last pass. Or you can use the DCC algorithm in which you can choose the step size (= grid spacing). But FFT multipass performs better.
