NAME 

osiv - open source imaging velocimetry

SYNOPSIS 

osiv [ arg=... ] [ ppr=... ] [...]

DESCRIPTION 

osiv is a program for performing efficient analysis of PIV images. It provides a variety of algorithms for pre-processing, interpolation, and cross-correlation of images. This page will serve as a quick reference location, more information can be found in the online manual.

OPTIONS 

prn=STRING - parameter file name
mvn=STRING - movie file name
The movie type will be inferred from the file extension, namely: .dat - binary data .tif - TIFF file .tiff - TIFF file If file is "-", data will be read from stdin and assumed to be raw binary.
dtn=STRING - output file name
If file is "-", data will be written to stdout.
alg=INTEGER - cross-correlation algorithm
The integer takes the following interpretation: 1 - Direct Least Squares 2 - Direct Least Squares (Non-Redundant) 3 - Direct Cross Correlation 4 - Direct Cross Correlation (Non-Redundant) 5 - FFT Cross Correlation 6 - FFT Cross Correlation (Less-Redundant) 7 - Minimum Quadratic Difference 8 - Iterative FFT Correlation
ppr=INTEGER - pre-processing algorithm
The integer takes the following interpretation: 0 - No pre-processing 1 - Subtract to minima 2 - Add to maxima 3 - Stretch to limits 4 - Stretch to variance 5 - Stretch to average
itp=INTEGER - interpolation algorithm
The integer takes the following interpretation: 0 - No interpolation 1 - Gaussian 2 - Parabolic 3 - Paraboloidal 4 - Centroid
szx=INTEGER - image width
szy=INTEGER - image height
stx=INTEGER - x start of grid
A value of zero denotes the left of the image.
sty=INTEGER - y start of grid
A value of zero denotes the top of the image.
spx=INTEGER - x grid spacing
A value of one places a window at every pixel column.
spy=INTEGER - y grid spacing
A value of one places a window at every pixel row.
nmx=INTEGER - x grid length
nmy=INTEGER - y grid length
ofx=INTEGER - x window offset
ofy=INTEGER - y window offset
wsx=INTEGER - x window size
Powers of two allow efficient FFT algorithms, but are not necessary.
wsy=INTEGER - y window size
Powers of two allow efficient FFT algorithms, but are not necessary.
wlx=INTEGER - x super window size
This argument only has meaning for the minimum quadratic difference algorithm.
wly=INTEGER - y super window size
This argument only has meaning for the minimum quadratic difference algorithm.
mdx=INTEGER - x maximum window displacement
mdy=INTEGER - y maximum window displacement
sfr=INTEGER - start frame
efr=INTEGER - end frame
skp=INTEGER - frame skipping
set=INTEGER - frame set
nit=INTEGER - number of iterations
This argument only has meaning for iterative fft cross correlation.
wsd=STRING - wisdom file name
Wisdom can be generated by the program osiv_mkwsd
wmp=INTEGER - write map switch
A value of "1" denotes "yes", a value of anything else denotes "no". The default value is "no".
