PIV Project

[William Thielicke]

This sounds like a really fun task! Just film any moving object (like stirring your morning coffee), film it with a static camera and analyze it with PIV.
It's simple and fun. Just try it.

Yes, film from the top an dont move the camera.
A research question could be: Is a spoon or a fork more suitable for mixing your coffee.

Here is a post with good information on the background of piv:

You need to extract the images at a higher frame rate from the video, and you must not move the camera. Otherwise the processing will be very much more complicated.

It is not like 'less camera motion is better than much camera motion'. There must not be any motion.

If you are not willing to read the PIVlab tutorial or watch the PIVlab video, then I think you should better skip your project.

I gave you the best help possible, however I don't have the impression that you are giving your best to make your project happen. Sorry instead of asking what the tutorials offer it would have been faster for you to just read them.
I am sure you can do it - it is really not complicated at all.
