frank-engel-usgs / Image Velocimetry Short Course Agenda (sample).md
Last active August 27, 2022 21:36
An example agenda for a week long Image Velocimetry Class I have created

Purpose

This is a class that I have created to teach hydrographers and technicians the theory and practice of using Image Velocimetry for computation of streamflow from video. In the class, I start with the basics (i.e., what is light?) and work our way through an understanding of the theory and math behind particle image velocimetry and space-time image velocimetry. Along the way we discuss image processing, photograph and a bit of optical theory, camera matrix and scene reconstruction, and a bit of basic field technique. For a week long class, it's pretty jammed packed, but so far participants have really enjoyed it.
