The OpenPIV project

OpenPIV is an initiative of scientists to develop a software, algorithms and methods for the state-of-the-art experimental tool of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) which are free, open source, and easy to operate.
OpenPIV is the successor of the well known URAPIV software - it is faster, more friendly and much more flexible.
OpenPIV is provided using Matlab, Python and C++ with Qt frontend.

OpenPIV is not anymore "just" an open source PIV analysis of images. It is a fully integrated solution "from images to the publication". We provide an integrated Matlab toolbox for Spatial and Temporal PIV data analysis
