PIV Challenge

Objectives
The PIV Challenge has been held in 2001, 2003 and 2005, to exchange the knowledge of the PIV image analysis techniques.
Many teams around the world contributed to analyze the PIV images provided by the organizers. With comparing the contributed results, the characteristics of the PIV evaluation algorithms have been discussed.
This Web-site is the official Web-site for PIV Challenge. All of the information, including the test images, are found on this web-site. Please freely link this web-site.
