FlowManager 3D-PIV Theory of stereoscopic PIV Dantec Dynamics 3D-PIV software Application example:3D-PIV in an automotive wind tunnel (used as example through the slide show) Fundamentals of stereo vision Camera calibration Overlapping fields of view Left / Right 2D vector maps 3D reconstruction Dantec Dynamics 3D-PIV system components Seeding PIV-Laser(Double-cavity Nd:Yag) Light guiding arm Lightsheet optics 2 cameras on stereo mounts FlowMap PIV-processor with two camera input Calibration target on a traverse FlowManager PIV software FlowManager 3D-PIV option Recipe for a 3D-PIV experiment Record calibration images in the desired measuring position(Target and traverse defines the co-ordinate system!) Align the lightsheet with the calibration target Record calibration images using both cameras Record simultaneous 2D-PIV vector maps using both cameras Calibration images and vector maps is read into FlowManager Perform camera calibration based on the calibration images Calculate 3D vectors based on the two 2D PIV vector maps and the camera calibration Camera calibration Importing 2D vector maps 3D evaluation statistics Slide * True 3D displacement (?X,?Y,?Z) is estimated from a pair of 2D dis- placements (?x,?y) as seen from left and right camera respectively Stereo recording geometry Focusing an off-axis camera requires tilting of the CCD-chip (Scheimpflug condition) 3D evaluation requires a numerical model, describing how objects in space are mapped onto the CCD-chip of each camera Parameters for the numerical model are determined through camera calibration Images of a calibration target are recorded. The target contains calibration markers in known positions. Comparing known marker positions with corresponding marker positions on each camera image, model parameters are adjusted to give the best possible fit. 3D evaluation is possible only within the area covered by both cameras. Due to perspective distortion each camera covers a trapezoidal regio
