abstract = {In recent years, several algorithms have been proposed that
leverage deep learning techniques within the analysis
workflow of particle-image velocimetry (PIV) measurements.
This emerging body of work has shown that deep learning has
the potential to match or outperform state-of-the-art
classical algorithms in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and
spatial resolution. However, the huge diversity in dynamic
flows and varying particle-image conditions require PIV
processing schemes to have high generalization capabilities
to unseen flow and lighting conditions. If these conditions
vary strongly compared to the training data, the performance
of fully supervised PIV tools can degrade substantially. In
contrast, unsupervised learning ameliorates the need for
comprehensive labeled training data and can permit a much
wider range of data to be used during training. Therefore,
unsupervised deep learning could improve inference
capability for challenging real-world use cases. However,
design of an unsupervised loss objective is non-trivial and
requires application-specific consideration. Motivated by
the foregoing, in this paper we study unsupervised deep
learning for PIV processing, systematically investigating
key components of losses and accommodating regularizers and
deriving a proxy loss. The resulting algorithm, named
Unsupervised Recurrent All-Pairs Field Transforms for PIV
(URAFT-PIV), is unsupervised and meant specifically for PIV
applications. We investigate performance under varying image
and lighting conditions in synthetic and experimental data,
with a breadth and depth going well beyond currently
available empirical results. These results shed new light on
deep learning for PIV processing and in particular on the
scope for unsupervised learning in this domain.},
