Abstract

A method for calibrating a velocimetry system, the velocimetry system including at least one camera for imaging an illuminated volume comprising moving particles according to at least two different fields of view, comprising: receiving preliminary imaging equations; simultaneously acquiring sets of images of the illuminated volume from the fields of view; voxelizing the illuminated volume; dividing each voxelized volume into interrogation volumes and generating templates images of each interrogation volume for each field of view using the preliminary imaging equations, identifying a match between given clusters of particles in the corresponding template image and corresponding clusters of particles in the corresponding set of images; determining position disparities between the given clusters of particles within the template image and the corresponding clusters of particles within the set of images; and for each field of view, modifying the corresponding preliminary imaging equations based on the determined disparities.
