comparison with PIVLab

[alex.l...@gmail.com]

Thanks to the author of PIVLab, Dr. William Thielicke, we have now a nice comparative run on his von Karman vortex street data. For this case we implemented the image masking that is propagated through the analysis and can be useful for your cases as well. 

Thanks also to Theo who initiated this work and developed the window deformation multigrid method for OpenPIV

Happy New Year to all,

Thanks Alex, I will also post something in the pivlab blog!

Hi all,

I tested PIVlab and a GUI I created using OpenPIV python, and can say that both perform about the same precision-wise. Both performed well on PIV Challenge 2001 case A (one of the more tougher images to evaluate), case B, and case E, PIV Challenge 2003 case A, and PIV Challenge 2014. This also demonstrates OpenPIV's new masking capabilities.

P.S. I think my GUI looks like PIVlab now :P (thanks to my obsession with it...)

Great work on the comparison and the GUI!
