Event Based PIV

Event based PIV (EBIV) is an imaging and flow visualization technique using event based camera technology aqcuiring particle images illuminated in the flow.

Since only intensity changes are recorded the data reduction enables high repetition rates of image recording up to 10000 fps. This easy to use technique can go along with steady or pulsed light sources and is significantly less sensitive to background scatter.
Together with PIVTec‘s software solution it is not only a flow visualization tool, but also enables time-resolved Particle Image Velicometry (TR-PIV) for quantification of flow.

Advantages:

  • Event-based camera technique with repetition rate up to 10000 fps
  • Low sensitivity to (static) background scatter
  • Can be combined with any kind of light source for flow or surface motion visualization
  • Synchronized multi-camera array possible
  • Easy connect via USB interface
