piv-image-generator: An image generating software package for planar PIV and Optical Flow benchmarking

We describe a generator of synthetic images of tracers in turbulent flows to benchmark Particle Image Velocimetry and Optical Flow algorithms. Generated flows include: uniform, shear flows, inviscid stagnation point flows, and decaying and Rankine vortices. Image control parameters include particle...
