# OpenPIV ## OpenPIV - what is it for? OpenPIV is an initiative of scientists to develop a software, algorithms and methods for the state-of-the-art experimental tool of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) which are free, open source, and easy to operate. OpenPIV is the successor of the well known URAPIV software - it is faster, more friendly and much more flexible. OpenPIV is provided using Matlab, Python or 32bit Windows executable (based on C++ and Qt source). ## Webinar, July 2020 [](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci98mLhYEeg) ### How to cite this work Please cite our paper: Ben-Gida, H., Gurka, R. and Liberzon, A.
