This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

This project purpose is the development of Direct Cross-Correlation Imaging 
Velocimetry algorithms.
The Correlation Imaging Velocimetry (CIV) technique permits the measurement of 
velocity fields in a plane illuminated by a laser light sheet.
The adaptation of these techniques to meter size (or larger) fields of view 
requires new developments in algorithms.
3D measurements will be obtained by rapidly scanning a laser sheet through the 
measurement volume, this process is repeated a short time later and the 
resulting 3D image cube pair will be intercorrelated using a 3D form of the 
advanced CIV algorithm.
Due to the extreme computational requirements of direct 3D intercorrelation, 
new algorithms that use a hierarchical processing scheme must be developed to 
render this technique utilizable.
These hierarchical image processing techniques will also initially be developed 
in 2D, where they will extend the range of measurable scales (important in 
large scale measurement where the illuminated planes typically contain many 
different scales of motion).

Two articles have been published on this techniques  :

and 
Fincham, A., and G. Spedding, 1997, Low cost, high resolution DPIV for 
measurement of turbulent fluid flow.   Exp. Fluids, 23, 449-462

Presently both 2D and 3D algorithms are available with a HTML interface and 
clustering support. They have been written in Fortran90  in a modular way and 
can include other languages routines or librairies.
They still use IMSL librairies when free equivalent are not available  and each 
line of code is under GPL license. But except for the compilation ( link to 
imsl ) , the interface and the processing run on Free platform systems.
We plan to implement own made imsl routines equivalent soon.

The goal of this registration is to create a small and active community using 
the up-to-date tools you provide to develop a free and efficient Imaging 
Velocimetry solution for labs.
Several researchers and PhD students are involves in this project.
