Researchers have developed a novel method to refine Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements by fusing estimates from multiple heterogeneous algorithms. This consensus-based approach, utilizing the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM), incorporates priors like smoothness and incompressibility to improve flow quantification. The method demonstrated up to a 20% decrease in end-point-error for a dense-inverse-search estimator and was successfully applied in an active-fluids-control setup, leading to significant drag reduction or increase.
