1. Multi-PIV Camera System (FtrMPC)
This is the best imaging system for full-volume flow measurement. Using small and lightweight Ethernet CCD camera, all functions necessary for PIV imaging is operated through software by integrating the digital delay pulse generator (VSD2000) designed for PIV. This Standard System is also possible to expand to the Dynamic System, where high-speed cameras and a high-repetition-rate double-pulse laser are used.

2. Tomographic Stereo PIV Technique
Utilizing the three-dimensional light intensity distribution reconstructed by MART for standard CT, this new technique incorporates two-dimensional cross-correlation analysis based on stereo projection and stereo PIV. Faster and lighter data analysis has been achieved by dividing the imaging range into multi-plane regions and applying the stereo PIV in each region. This stereo PIV is full of powerful functions from pre-processing of particle images to erroneous vector rejection incorporated in our reputed FtrPIV-Stereo.
3. High-speed Analysis and Compact Data Capacity
The three-dimensional light intensity distribution reconstructed by the MART had some problems regarding the significant increase in data volume compared to the original imaging data. FtrTSPIV has solved this problem through the development of multi-plane stereo PIV technique. As a result, the data capacity was reduced by an order of magnitude or more, and the data analysis speed increased by a factor of ten or more compared to the usual TomoPIV. FtrTSPIV also surpasses the usual TomoPIV in terms of data analysis accuracy and stability.
4. User-friendly System Integration
FtrQVV is a GUI-integrated software developed for easy full-volume measurement. It is a user-friendly software that can process any data analysis through simple operation.
