Hi, I am looking for a sponsor for the packages libgpiv, gpiv and gpivtools I recently uploaded to the debian-mentors repository. The packages are linda and lintian error free. Please, can some DD have a look at it? As the packages are mainly interesting for scientific and engineering purposes, the audience is quite limited. But nevertheless I think it might help users a lot if this software would be included in Debian. Building from source seems to be complicated for many users as the packages depend on quite a few libraries. Though I am the developer of the software as well, the packaging has been kept separated from the upstream source packages available at http://gpiv.sourceforge.net
The description for the libgpiv package is: Description: Library for Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) This library contains functions for evaluating images from a fluid flow by means of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), resulting into a velocity field of the fluid flow. It includes the core functions for interrogation, data validation, post-processing, input/output and memory allocation. for the gpivtools package: Description: Command line programs for Particle Image Velocimetry A collection of programs for recording and interrogating images that are generated during a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiment. This is a technique to obtain the velocity field of a fluid flow quantitatively and is performed by tracking tracer particles that have been seeded to a fluid. The technique is also applied for observing deformations at surfaces of (solid) bodies. The package contains: . an image recording program that uses an IEEE1394 (Firewire) IIDC-compliant camera and a program for triggering the camera with a light source (mostly a double cavity Nd-YAG laser). Trigger pulses are sent over the parallel port of the computer using RealTimeLinux and RTAI. . an image processing program for typical filtering and manipulation routines that may be convenient for PIV. . an image interrogation program resulting into estimators of particle image displacements. . validation programs to test on outliers, peak-locking effect and velocity gradients. . post-processing programs for data manipulation (flipping, rotation etc), spatial and time scaling, calculation of spatial averages and derivatived quantities from the PIV data, like vorticity and strain. . miscelaneous programs and scripts to perform image format conversion, batch-processing, pipeline processing (image evaluation, validation and post-processing at once), calculation of time averages from a series of PIV data sets, data-visualization and data-manipulation. and for the gpiv package: Description: Graphic Interface program for Particle Image Velocimetry Gpiv is a graphic program using the the GTK/GNOME libraries for Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The program gives a quick overview of the parameter settings of the processes and allows to change them easely, running the processes, individually or in a chain, visualizes and displays the results. The processes that may be invoked by Gpiv are: . Image recording and triggering of a camera with light sources. . Image evaluation or interrogation, resulting into estimators of particle image displacements. . Data validation to test on outliers, peak-locking effect and velocity gradients over the interrogation area's. . Data post-processing: data manipulation,spatial and time scaling to obtain a velocity field from the PIV data, calculation of spatial averages, vorticity and strain. I am looking forward that these packages will be included in the Debian distribution. So please, let somebody sponsor me.
