The image acquisition device receives the light reflected by the tracer particles, obtains the imaging of the target water area, and stores the image in a memorizer or directly transmits it to computer.
Step 3, After receiving the imaging, the computer processes the image, and the specific process is as follows First, the image is enhanced to increase the contrast between tracer particles and background, and then binarized to distinguish particles from background. Identifying and locating the particles in the image by edge detection and region filling. Further, matching the identified particles. Dividing the image into small cells in pixel units, finding the position of a particle in a small cell of the first particle image in the second particle image after time interval At, hence obtaining average displacement of particles in the unit, so that the average velocity of particles in the unit can be obtained. Then carry out the same operation on other units to get the velocity vector of particles in other areas.
