Researchers at Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a faster, more accurate three-dimensional (3D) particle-tracking system for monitoring the motion of particles in flow.
The researchers developed a numerical algorithm, Holo-Flow, that identifies the location and motion of particles in parallel, and cross-feeds the information in each step.
KAUST's Congli Wang said, "Inline holography requires fewer components, has a much simpler setup, can be easily used with microscopes and offers a higher spatial resolution, but is harder to solve numerically. We have shown that we can achieve the same or even better performance than conventional methods by using sophisticated software algorithms.”
