This paper aims to develop a three-dimensional (3D) measurement approach to investigate the flow structures of viscoelastic fluid in the curved microchannel by using digital holographic microscope (DHM). The measurement system uses off-axis holographic/interferometric optical setup for the moving target, and the real-time three-dimensional-three-components (3D3C) particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) can be achieved based on the analysis of phase information of holograms. To diagnose the irregular flow inside the microchannel, the 3D temporal positions of tracer particles in the volume of 282 μm × 282 μm × 60 μm have been detected and velocity field was calculated based on the PTV algorithm. Moreover, to explain the flow field inside the curved microchannel, for the first time the polarized high-speed camera was utilized to identify the strong elongation in the viscoelastic fluid. The DHM is proven to be successful for the measurements of microfluidic flow, especially for the truly real-time 3D motions.

This paper aims to develop a three-dimensional measurement approach to investigate the flow structures of viscoelastic fluid in the curved microchannel by using digital holographic microscope (DHM). With the advantage of DHM, the real-time three-dimensional measurement for the complex flow field can be accomplished. The measurment system uses off-axis holographic / interferometric optical setup for the target, and 3D3C particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) can be achieved based on the analysis of phase information of holograms. To diagnose the chaotic flow inside the microchannel, the 3D temporal positions of tracer particles in the volume of 282μm × 282μm × 60μm have been detected and real-time velocity vectors were calculated based on the PTV algorithm. The measured flow field was then compared with the results obtained by using confocal micro particle image velocimetry (PIV). This technique is proven to be successful for the measurements of microfluidic flow, especially for the truly real-time 3D motions.

Climate change increases the frequency of localized heavy rains and typhoons. As a result, mountain disasters, such as landslides and earthworks, continue to occur, causing damage to roads and residential areas downstream. Moreover, large-scale civil engineering works, including dam construction, cause rapid changes in the terrain, which harm the stability of residential areas. Disasters, such as landslides and earthenware, occur extensively, and there are limitations in the field of investigation; thus, there are many studies being conducted to model terrain geometrically and to observe changes in terrain according to external factors. However, conventional topography methods are expressed in a way that can only be interpreted by people with specialized knowledge. Therefore, there is a lack of consideration for three-dimensional visualization that helps non-experts understand. We need a way to express changes in terrain in real time and to make it intuitive for non-experts to understand. In conventional height-based terrain modeling and simulation, there is a problem in which some of the sampled data are irregularly distorted and do not show the exact terrain shape. The proposed method utilizes a hierarchical vertex cohesion map to correct inaccurately modeled terrain caused by uniform height sampling, and to compensate for geometric errors using Hausdorff distances, while not considering only the elevation difference of the terrain. The mesh reconstruction, which triangulates the three-vertex placed at each location and makes it the smallest unit of 3D model data, can be done at high speed on graphics processing units (GPUs). Our experiments confirm that it is possible to express changes in terrain accurately and quickly compared with existing methods. These functions can improve the sustainability of residential spaces by predicting the damage caused by mountainous disasters or civil engineering works around the city and make it easy for non-experts to understand.

This paper describes the development of a high-speed three-dimensional reciprocal-space mapping method designed for the real-time monitoring of the strain relaxation process during the growth of heterostructure semiconductors. Each three-dimensional map is obtained by combining a set of consecutive images, which are captured during the continuous rotation of the sample, and calculating the reciprocal-space coordinates from the detector coordinate system. To demonstrate the feasibility of this rapid mapping technique, the 022 asymmetric diffraction of an InGaAs/GaAs(001) thin film grown by molecular beam epitaxy was measured and the procedure for data calibration was examined. Subsequently, the proposed method was applied to real-time monitoring of the strain relaxation process during the growth of a thin-film heterostructure consisting of In0.07Ga0.93As and In0.18Ga0.82As layers consecutively deposited on GaAs(001). The time resolution of the measurement was 10 s. It was revealed that additional relaxation of the first In0.07Ga0.93As layer was induced by the growth of the second In0.18Ga0.82As layer within a short period of time corresponding to the deposition of only two monolayers of InGaAs.

Abstract The objective of this report is investigate the influences of the mixing state to the productions of the vaterite crystal of CaCO3. In order to quantify the three-dimensional flow structures and their physical contribution to the mixing properties, a stereoscopic PIV (SPIV) has been adopted. The SPIV systems consists of two high speed cameras and an optical encoder which is used for trigging the SPIV system to capture the instantaneous flow images. A continuous laser (550nm) has been used. For mixing, an agitator having four blades has been used. The mixing tank has been filled with water up to 85% level of the tank height. The agitator has been rotated with 200rpm, 250rpm and 300rpm, and the 3D flow structures have been captured by the constructed SPIV system. Using measured instantaneous 3D vectors, POD (proper orthogonal decomposition) analyses has been adopted to investigate the energy distributions of the major vortical structures, and to evaluate the flow features regarding on the production of the vaterite crystal of CaCO3.

Cross-wind flows around two simplified high-speed trains with different nose shapes are studied using large-eddy simulation (LES) with the standard Smagorinsky model. The Reynolds number is 3×105 based on the height of the train and the freestream velocity. The cross section and the length of the two train models are identical while one model has a nose length twice that of the other. The three-dimensional effects of the nose on the flow structures in the wake and on the aerodynamic quantities such as lift and side force coefficients, flow patterns, local pressure coefficient, and wake frequencies are investigated. The short-nose train simulation shows highly unsteady and three-dimensional flow around the nose yielding more vortex structures in the wake. These structures result in a surface flow that differs from that in the long-nose train flow. They also influence the dominating frequencies that arise due to the shear-layer instabilities. Prediction of vortex shedding, flow patterns in the train surface, and time-averaged pressure distribution obtained from the long-nose train simulation are in good agreement with the available experimental data.

We propose a novel method for detecting features on normal maps and describing binary features, called BIFNOM, which is three-dimensionally rotation invariant and detects and matches interest points at high speed regardless of whether a target is textured or textureless and rigid or non-rigid. Conventional methods of detecting features on normal maps can also be applied to textureless targets, in contrast with features on luminance images; however, they cannot deal with three-dimensional rotation between each pair of corresponding interest points due to the definition of orientation, or they have difficulty achieving fast detection and matching due to a heavy-weight descriptor. We addressed these issues by introducing a three dimensional local coordinate system and converting a normal vector to a binary code, and achieved more than 750fps real-time feature detection and matching. Furthermore, we present an extended descriptor and criteria for real-time tracking, and evaluate the performance with both simulation and actual system.

This paper describes three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry (3D PTV), which enables us to obtain remarkably larger number of velocity vectors than previous techniques. Instead of the usual stereoscopic image recordings, the present 3D PTV visualizes an entire three-dimensional flow with the scanning laser-light sheets generated from a pair of optical scanners and the images are taken by a high-speed video system synchronized with the scannings. The digital image analyses to derive velocity components are based on the numerical procedure (Ushijima and Tanaka, 1994), in which several improvements have been made on the extraction of particle images, the determination of their positions, the derivation of velocity components and others. The present 3D PTV was applied to the rotating fluids, accompanied by Ekman boundary layers, and their complicated secondary flow patterns, as well as the primary circulations, are quantitatively captured.

To solve the problem of measurement for welding deformation of sheet metal, a non-contact three-dimension optical method is proposed. Firstly, photos of moving objects from different observation points are taken by two high-resolution and high-speed digital cameras simultaneously. Secondly, the three-dimensional coordinates of targets are calculated by three-dimensional reconstruction technique including collinear equation, photo orientation based on the coplanar equation, direct linear transform, epipolar geometric constraint and bundle adjustment method. Finally, the deformations at different moments are associated with points of the same name; the deformation of the observation points is calculated and the real time deformation curves are sketched. Compared with the traditional methods, this method is not subjected to the high temperature and strong interference and has the advantages of real-time, high efficiency and high precision. The application in the measurement for welding deformation of sheet materials is satisfying.
