Event-based cameras optimise flow analysis in science and industry
Today, modern measurement technologies enable high-precision detection of the movement of liquids and gases - and thus provide valuable data for numerous applications. How does the air flow around an aeroplane? How does blood move through our veins? And how can pollutant emissions in combustion processes be minimised?
Various methods are available to measure these flows, including visual ones such as particle image velocimetry (PIV). High-resolution cameras are used to track marked particles within a flow and analyse their movement. iLA_5150 GmbH from Aachen (Germany) now also uses EBIV - a new optical method for the qualitative and quantitative visualisation 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.
