Particle Tracking Velocimetry

 

Particle tracking velocimetry” is a variety of PIV in which one tracks the motion of individual particles, as opposed to measuring the movement of the group of particles that resides in an interrogation volume. PTV is usually performed on planar images. If it is applied to volumes viewed with multiple cameras having large depth of focus (and correspondingly poorer lateral resolution) it is referred to as “deep-field velocimetry”.
