Uncertainty budget in PSV technique measurements

Abstract Although the range of application of the PSV technique is quite wide, up to now the uncertainty of the measured data were estimated case-by-case, considering each specific application condition. This work deals with the issue of giving a comprehensive analysis of the uncertainty linked to PSV measurements, considering the effects of experimental and image-processing parameters on it. Results of experimental tests in simplified reference conditions and in water channel are shown and analysed in order to give a comprehensive picture of the uncertainty budget in PSV techniques.
