A new particle tracking algorithm using the concept of match probability between two consequent image frames has been developed to obtain an instantaneous 2-dimensional velocity field. A computer simulation has been carried out to check the performance and usefulness of the developed algorithm by comparing with the conventional 4-frame Particle Tracking Velocimetry(PTV) method. As a result the newly developed algorithm shows very good performance. Although the major part of the developed algorithm is time-consuming iterative updating routine of match probability, computational elapse time to get the resonable results is a very short compared with the 4-frame PTv.Additionally, the present 2-frame PTV algorithm recovers more velocity vectors and has higher dynamic range and lower error ratio compared with the conventional 4-frame PTV.

파티클 필터는 비선형 비가우시안 추정 문제에 매우 효과적인 수단으로 비디오 영상에서 객체를 추적하는 경우에 널리 이용되어왔다. 하지만 객체의 이동이 심한 경우 객체의 추적을 위해서는 매우 많은 개수의 파티클이 있어야 하므로 계산량이 크게 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 프레임간의 객체 이동이 상당히 크게 이루어지는 low frame rate(LPR) 비디오에서 차량의 추적을 위하여 모션 벡터를 이용한 개선된 파티클 필터 추적 방법을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 성능을 평가하였다. 제안한 파티클 필터에서는 selection 단계와 observe 단계의 두 단계에서 모션 벡터를 적용하였다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법은 LPR 영상에서 기존의 파티클 필터가 객체의 추적에 실패하는 경우에도 성공적 추적이 가능하며, 추적의 정확도 또한 향상되었음을 보여주었다.

The performance of 2-frame PTV(particle tracking velocimetry) system was improved using an adaptive hybrid scheme. The original 2-frame PTV method based on the match probability concept employs global match parameters for the entire flow field. Since this does not reflect fully the detailed local velocity change, it sometimes reduces the recovery rate of velocity vectors and increases the number of erroneous vectors in the region where an extraordinary flow structure exists. In this study, the preliminary FFT-based PIV results are used as an input parameter to determine the local match parameters needed for the 2-frame particle tracking algorithm. A computer simulation using synthetic particle images was carried out to study the performance of the adaptive 2-frame PTV technique. The adaptive hybrid method shows the better performance with increasing the velocity vector recovery rate and decreasing the computation time, compared to the original 2-frame PTV method.

The present study is aimed to improve the PIV performance by suggesting a two-frame particle identification technique and by introducing estimation method of wall pressure distribution from the velocity data. Adopted image processing system consists of one commercial image board slit into a personal computer, 2-D sheet light generator, flow picture recording apparatus and related particle identification software. A revised particle tracking method essential to PIV performance is obtained by particle centroid correlation pairing (CCP) and its effectiveness is ascertained by comparison with multi-frame identification.

The in-cylinder flow field of gasoline engine comprises unsteady compressible turbulent flows caused by the intake port, combustion chamber geometry. Thus, the quantitative analysis of the in-cylinder flow characteristics plays an important role in the improvement of engine performances and the reduction of exhaust emission. In order to obtain the quantitative analysis of the in-cylinder gas flows for a gasoline engine, the single-frame particle tracking velocimetry was developed, which is designed to measure 2-dimensional gas flow field. In this paper, influences of the swirl and tumble intensifying valves on the in-cylinder flow characteristics under the various intake flow conditions were investigated by using this PTV method. Based on the results of experiment, the generation process of swirl and tumble flow in a cylinder during intake stroke was clarified. Its effect on the tumble ratio at the end of compression stroke was also investigated.

A stereoscopic particle tracking velocimetry (SPTV) technique based on the 2-frame hybrid particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) method was developed. The expansion of 2D PTV to SPTV is facilitated by the fact that the PTV method tracks individual particle centroids. To evaluate the performance and measurement accuracy of the present SPTV technique, it was applied to flow images of rigid body translation and synthetic standard images of jet shear flow and impinging jet flow. The data processing routine and measurement uncertainty of the SPTV technique are compared with those of conventional stereoscopic particle image velecimet.y (SPBV). In addition, the centroid translation effect of 2D particle image velocimetry (PIV) is defined and its effect on SPIV measurements is discussed. Compared to the SPIV method, the SPTV technique has inherited merits of concise and precise velocity evaluation procedures and provides better spatial resolution and measurement accuracy.

The most serious problems related to the cardiovascular prothesis are thrombosis and hemolysis. It is known that the flow pattern of cardiovascular prostheses is highly correlated with thrombosis and hemolysis. Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) is a usual method to get flow pattern, which is difficult to operate and has narrow measure region. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) can solve these problems. Because the flow speed of valve is too high to catch particles by CCD camera, high-speed camera (Hyspeed : Holland-Photonics) was used. The estimated maximum flow speed was 5m/sec and maximum trackable length is 0.5 cm, so the shutter speed was determined as 1000 frames per sec. Several image processing techniques (blurring, segmentation, morphology, etc) were used for the preprocessing. Particle tracking algorithm and 2-D interpolation technique which were necessary in making gridrized velocity pronto, were applied to this PIV program. By using Single-Pulse Multi-Frame particle tracking algorithm, some problems of PIV can be solved. To eliminate particles which penetrate the sheeted plane and to determine the direction of particle paths are these solving methods. 1-D relaxation fomula is modified to interpolate 2-D field. Parachute artificial heart valve which was developed by Seoul National University and Bjork-Shiely valve was testified. For each valve, different flow pattern, velocity profile, wall shear stress and mean velocity were obtained.

Analysis and control of intake charge motion such as swirl and tumble are very important to improve the performance of gasoline engines. In this paper, single frame double exposure PTV(particle tracking velocimetry) is used to investigate intake flow characteristic in a steady flow test rig of gasoline engine with 2-valve and pent-roof combustion chamber. To validate this PTV method, we confirmed reliability of this PTV method using chopper, and coaxial burner experiments. The velocity Held of intake flow is measured with the intake valve lift variation. It is shown that maximum flow velocity is increased and tumble flow become stronger than inverse tumble flow as valve lift increase.

본 논문에서는 UKF(unscented Kalman filter)와 연동된 입자필터를 이용한 단안시 카메라의 실시간 자세추정 기법을 제안한다. 단안시 카메라 자세 추정 기법에는 주로 카메라 영상과 자이로스코프, 가속도센서 데이터 등을 연동하는 방법이 많이 이용되고 있으나 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 별도의 센서 없이 카메라 영상에서 취득되는 2차원 시각 정보만을 이용하는 것을 목표로 한다. 제안된 방법은 카메라 영상 이외의 부가적인 장비를 이용하지 않고 별도의 센싱 정보 없이 2차원 영상만으로 카메라 추적이 가능하며, 따라서 기존에 비해 하드웨어 구성이 단순해질수 있다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 제안된 방법은 UKF와 연동된 입자필터를 기반으로 한다. 입자필터의 각 입자마다 개별적으로 정의된 UKF로부터 카메라의 상태를 추정한 다음 입자필터의 전체 입자로부터 카메라 상태에 대한 통계데이터를 산출하고 이로부터 카메라의 실시간 자세정보를 계산한다. 기존의 방법과 달리 제안된 방법은 카메라의 급격한 흔들림이 발생하는 경우에도 카메라 추적이 가능함을 보여주며, 영상 내의 특징점 대다수가 가려지는 환경에서도 카메라 추적에 실패하지 않음을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 또한 입자의 개수가 35개인 경우 프레임 당 소요 시간이 약 25ms이며 이로부터 실시간 처리에 문제가 없음을 확인할 수 있었다.

선박의 조종성능은 선체와 프로펠러 그리고 하의 상호작용에 의하여 결정되며 선박의 항해 시 선박의 안전성과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 그 중에서 선체에 부착된 타의 성능은 선박의 조종성능과 직접적인 관계를 가지고 있으며, 타에 의한 선박의 조종성능을 향상시키기 위하여 특수타를 채택하는 사례가 늘어가고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 특수타의 일종인 플랩타의 2차원 단면에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 플랩타의 성능을 예측하기 위하여 주날개의 받음각과 플랩의 각도를 바꾸어 가면서 모형실험을 수행하였으며 모형실험 시 유동장내의 속도분포를 얻기 위하여 PIV 계측기법 중 동일임자 추적법의 하나인 2프레림 입자추적법을 사용하였다. 모형실험은 $Re=1.027{\times}10^4$에서 수행하였으며, 계측된 결과들을 서로 비교하였다.
