Abstract

The Lagrangian Particle Image Velocimetry (LAPIV) method was firstly proposed in Yang et al. (2019) as a prototype approach to achieve the goal of accurate and efficient reconstruction of 3D Eulerian velocity field of fluid flow from multi-view particle images. After validating against synthetic datasets, the prototype has already shown significant advantages in revealing more small scale flow structures than other stateof-the-art Eulerian velocity estimation methods, such as TomoPIV (Scarano, 2013) and VIC# (Jeon et al., 2019). However, at this early stage, LAPIV can not be easily applied to other datasets. In the current work, we focus on extending LAPIV to operational search by incorporating several essential and wellestablished paradigms: multi-resolution, warping, and proxy regularization. Recent approaches, Lasinger et al. (2019) and Cornic et al. (2020), function in the same vein as LAPIV, aiming at reconstructs the dense Eulerian volumetric flow directly from multi-view particle-seeded images Another pipeline consists of firstly reconstructing the Lagrangian flow using the Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT), then optimally interpolating the Lagrangian flow to Eulerian grids, taking into account the Eulerian dynamics constraints as in Flowfit (Gesemann, 2020) and VIC# (Jeon et al., 2019). If Eulerian flow is required, LAPIV is the preferred approach due to its simplicity and ability to utilize the original rich image features.
