Event-based cameras optimize flow analysis in science and industry
Today, modern measurement technologies can accurately track the movement of liquids and gases, providing valuable data for numerous applications. How does the air flow around an airplane? How does blood flow through our veins? And how can pollutant emissions from combustion processes be minimized?
Various methods are available to measure these flows, including visual ones such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). High-resolution cameras are used to track and analyze the motion of tagged particles in a flow. iLA_5150 GmbH from Aachen (Germany) now also uses EBIV - a new optical method for the qualitative and quantitative visualization of flows and flow velocities. It combines PIV with event-based cameras, here with a uEye EVS. The innovative sensor technology of the industrial camera enables highly dynamic and energy-efficient detection, especially of fast and turbulent movements.
