Abstract
An error-evaluation method in PIV image analysis was considered, and error indexes for the evaluation were proposed. The error sources in PIV image analysis was categorized into two groups, i.e., (1) pair matching error (PME), (2) peak identification error (PIE). The evaluation method based on the analysis of correlation map, and statistical error indexes were proposed. The indexes aim to show the error appearance possibility of each error source. The errorevaluation method was examined by means of numerical simulations.
