A user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) makes PIV analyses and data post-processing fast and efficient.Screen-capture video of the tool:http://vimeo.com/10090907Example analyses & videos can be found on the PIVlab website:http://PIVlab.blogspot.com Please ask your questions in the PIVlab forum: http://pivlab.blogspot.de/p/forum.html   Peer reviewed paper on PIVlab: Thielicke, W and Stamhuis, E.J. 2014.
