PIVlab is an easy-to-use application that calculates velocities in image data (movies, pictures). It uses a method called 'Particle Image Velocimetry'. This method is typically used to calculate velocities in fluids, but there are also many other possibilities.

PIVlab is available as stand-alone app, or as toolbox for Matlab: https://www.PIVlab.de

PIVlab is developed by our employee William Thielicke, and OPTOLUTION supports the software development of PIVlab. OPTOLUTION offers additional hardware for PIVlab, making PIVlab the most simple to use PIV measurement suite. Our pulsed laser diodes, synchronizers, several cameras and the seeding generator can be remote controlled directly from PIVlab.
