The accuracy of several algorithms was determined and the best performing methods were implemented in a user-friendly open-source tool for performing DPIV flow analysis in Matlab.
Abstract
Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) is a non-intrusive analysis technique that is very popular for mapping flows quantitatively. To get accurate results, in particular in complex flow fields, a number of challenges have to be faced and solved: The quality of the flow measurements is affected by computational details such as image pre-conditioning, sub-pixel peak estimators, data validation procedures, interpolation algorithms and smoothing methods. The accuracy of several algorithms was determined and the best performing methods were implemented in a user-friendly open-source tool for performing DPIV flow analysis in Matlab.

Spatially Organized Ciliary Beating Compartmentalizes Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow in the Brain and Regulates Ventricular Development

TL;DR: It is proposed that motile-cilia-generated flow is crucial in regulating the distribution of CSF within and across brain ventricles, despite the fact that CSF flow is confined within individual ventricular cavities, despite a pulsatile CSF displacement caused by the heartbeat.

Assessment of the Deformability and Velocity of Healthy and Artificially Impaired Red Blood Cells in Narrow Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Microchannels

TL;DR: The ability of the image analysis tools combined with microchannel contractions to obtain crucial information on the pathological blood phenomena in microcirculation shows great potential to relate the RBCs’ behavior with the various stages of malaria, helping the development of new diagnostic systems towards point-of-care devices.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells From Hypertensive Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells to Advance Hypertension Pharmacogenomics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established multiple induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) lines from an HTN pharmacogenomics cohort and demonstrated that established HTN iPSCs can robustly and reproducibly differentiate into functional vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), a cell type most relevant to vasculature tone control.

Hemodynamic comparison of stent configurations used for aortoiliac occlusive disease.

TL;DR: The studied aortoiliac stent configurations have distinct locations where flow disturbances occur, and these are related to the radial mismatch, which is the most unimpaired physiologic reconstruction.

Real-time quantitative Schlieren imaging by fast Fourier demodulation of a checkered backdrop

TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative synthetic Schlieren imaging (SSI) method based on fast Fourier demodulation is presented, where instead of a random dot pattern (as usually employed in SSI), a 2D periodic pattern (such as a checkerboard) is used as a backdrop to the refractive object of interest.

The Design and Implementation of FFTW3

TL;DR: It is shown that such an approach can yield an implementation of the discrete Fourier transform that is competitive with hand-optimized libraries, and the software structure that makes the current FFTW3 version flexible and adaptive is described.

Adaptive histogram equalization and its variations

TL;DR: It is concluded that clipped ahe should become a method of choice in medical imaging and probably also in other areas of digital imaging, and that clip ahe can be made adequately fast to be routinely applied in the normal display sequence.

Digital Particle Image Velocimetry

TL;DR: In this article, the directional ambiguity associated with PIV and LSV is resolved by implementing local spatial cross-correlations between two sequential single-exposed particle images, and the recovered velocity data are used to compute the spatial and temporal vorticity distribution and the circulation of the vortex ring.
