GUI program for Particle Image Velocimetry - MPI version

Gpiv is a Graphic User Interface program using 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
easy, running the processes, individually or in a chain,
visualizes and displays the results. The processes that may be
invoked by Gpiv are:

Image processing: typical image manipulations that might be needed for PIV
interrogation.

Image 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.

This is the parallelized version using Message Passing Interface to
be used on a (Beowulf) cluster.
