DPIVSoft python

DPIVSoft is an open PIV algorithm developed by Thomas Leweke and Patrice Munier. The original source of DPIVSoft for Matlab enviorement is accesible at the following link: https://www.irphe.fr/~meunier/. This project tries to migrate the original source to a python enviorement and also add the capabilites of GPU computing using OpenCL.

DPIVSoft consist in Python and OpenCL modules for scripting and executing the analysis of 2D PIV image pairs. At current state some Python knowledge is needed to use this software. A graphic user interface is planned to be added to make the software more accesible to people without programming skills.

Warning

The DPIVSoft Python version is still in it's beta state. This means that it can have some bugs and the API may change. However, testing and contributing is very welcome.

Installing

For the global installation, first step is go to the source folder and generate an installable using the following command:

$ python setup.py sdist

If everithing is fine, a folder named "dist" must have been created. Install the installable generated inside "dist" folder by using:

$ pip install Installable_Name

Learning to use DPIVSoft

There are tutorials and examples of how to compute PIV included with this package on source_folder/Examples

Developing DPIVSOFT

Note: In this early state, there is not any test available yet.

To install dpivsoft, along with the tools that you need to develop and run test, run the following line in your virtualenv:
