  • 设计多帧时序与多代价体积结构,专为稀疏粒子流场优化
  • 在自研合成数据集上实现最低归一化端点误差,优于现有方法
  • 开源数据集与代码,推动流体动力学领域深度学习研究

粒子图像测速(PIV)是流体力学的核心技术,但深度学习应用面临重大挑战。关键瓶颈在于缺乏对各类光流模型在PIV数据上表现的全面评估,主要受限于数据集不足和缺乏标准化基准。为此,本文首次构建大规模合成PIV基准数据集,基于多样化的计算流体动力学模拟(JHTDB与Blasius),涵盖丰富的粒子密度、流速及连续运动场景,实现了对多种光流与PIV算法的标准化、严格评估。同时提出多代价体积PIV(MCFormer)新网络架构,融合多帧时序信息与多重代价体积,专门应对PIV的稀疏特性。全面基准测试首次揭示不同适配光流模型间性能差异显著,并证明MCFormer在整体归一化端点误差(NEPE)上显著优于现有方法。本工作提供了未来研究必需的基础性基准资源与面向PIV挑战的先进方法。数据集与代码已公开,以促进该领域发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is fundamental to fluid dynamics, yet deep learning applications face significant hurdles. A critical gap exists: the lack of comprehensive evaluation of how diverse optical flow models perform specifically on PIV data, largely due to limitations in available datasets and the absence of a standardized benchmark. This prevents fair comparison and hinders progress. To address this, our primary contribution is a novel, large-scale synthetic PIV benchmark dataset generated from diverse CFD simulations (JHTDB and Blasius). It features unprecedented variety in particle densities, flow velocities, and continuous motion, enabling, for the first time, a standardized and rigorous evaluation of various optical flow and PIV algorithms. Complementing this, we propose Multi Cost Volume PIV (MCFormer), a new deep network architecture leveraging multi-frame temporal information and multiple cost volumes, specifically designed for PIV's sparse nature. Our comprehensive benchmark evaluation, the first of its kind, reveals significant performance variations among adapted optical flow models and demonstrates that MCFormer significantly outperforms existing methods, achieving the lowest overall normalized endpoint error (NEPE). This work provides both a foundational benchmark resource essential for future PIV research and a state-of-the-art method tailored for PIV challenges. We make our benchmark dataset and code publicly available to foster future research in this area.
