7 | | Launch the GUI uvmat and open an image in /UVMAT_DEMO_FILES/CONVECTION/Dalsa1, for instance 'Dalsa1_100_1.png'. It represents a convection experiment in a box with rectangular vertical cross section, with a heated right hand vertical wall. A plume with small lateral extension is produced near this wall which is a source of difficulty for PIV. |
8 | | As ususal the first step is a visual observation of the particle motion. Zoom the image on the right hand side and press the button '''movie_pair''', to see the displacement from image index _100_1 to _100_2. We can compare the influence of time interval by selecting the j index pairs 1-2 (100 ms), 2-3 (200 ms) or 1-3 (300 ms). We can notice that the pair 1-3 is needed to clearly see the motion in the interior while it is too large for the displacement in the plume. The smaller interval 1-2 is then appropriate. |

11 | | We know that the box width is 58.8 cm while the box height is 55.1 cm. This provides a simple method of calibration by pointing the four corners with the mouse. Open GeometryCalib by the upper bar menu Tools/geometric calibration. Activate the zoom, zoom on on the first corner, then desactivate the zoom to allow for mouse selection on the corner. Move on the other corners by the key board arrows and mark them with the mouse. Then you can see the image coordinates of the four points in the table of the GUI geometry_calib. Complement the table by the corresponding physical coordinates [0 0],[58.8 0],[58.8 55.1],[0 51.1] (choosing the lower left corner as coordinate origin). |
12 | | Then press APPLY with the simplest option 'rescale'. The quality is not excellent, with an error of about 3 pixels. The quality is improved by selecting the option 'linear' which accounts for a small rotation of the image with respect to the box (error about 1 pixel). |

22 | | The PIV computation is launched from the GUI 'civ', opened from uvmat by the upper bar command '''[RUN/PIV(CIV]'''. This GUI can be also directly opened by typing 'civ' in the Matlab command window, and the input image file then opened by the upper bar command '''[Open/Browse]''', like in the GUI uvmat. The name CIV means Correlation Imaging Velocity to stress that the method relies on image correlations, which detect the displacement of image textures, not necessarily from particles. |
