3 Fluorescent Technique Background noise elimination Example: Fluorescent particles used in Micro PIV Micro channelMicro PIV recording

4 Digital Mask Technique Phase separation according to particle image size Example: Solid particle in seeded water flow - Identify particle images in the recording and compute size of each particle image; - Extract image of the dispersed phase: Keep particle images bigger than a given threshold and fill the rest with zero - Extract image of the continuous phase: Set pixel values of the big particle images to zero or background intensity 2 phase recordingImage for big particlesImage for small particles

5 Digital Mask Technique Evaluation results of the correlation-based interrogation - Without phase separation, uncertainty arises around interface of different phases; - Influence of dispersed phase (big particles) cannot be completely eliminated by just removing the big particle images Results w/o phase separationResults of small particle image Phase separation according to particle image size
