| URAPIV | -another free PIV toolbox for Matlab. Also contains a nice list of PIV links. Developed by Uri Shavit, Roi Gurka and Alex Liberzon at Technion, Israel. |
| MPIV | -another free PIV toolbox for Matlab. Developed by Nobuhito Mori and Kuang-An Chang. |
| GPIV | -a free PIV toolbox that runs under Linux. Developed by Gerber van der Graaf. |
| CIV | -a free PIV toolbox that runs under Linux. Developed by G. Delerce in Grenoble, France. |
| OSIV | -a free PIV toolbox that runs under Linux. Developed by James A. Strother at Berkeley. |
| Mathworks Inc. | -creators of Matlab. |
| Linux | -In our department MATLAB and MatPIV is run solely on Linux machines. |
| PIVTEC | -PIV software developed by people at DLR, Germany. Also provides some hardware-solutions. |
| Dantec | -hardware and software solutions. Large Danish company. |
| LaVision | -hardware and Software. German company, spun-off from Max Planck Institute and the Laser Laboratory Goettingen. |
| TSI | -hardware and software. Largest provider in USA. |
| Oxford Lasers | -Hardware and software (VidPIV). Focus on high speed applications. English company. |
| ILA | -Hardware and software (VidPIV). German company. |
| PCO | -specialized video camera systems. Very good cameras indeed. Checkout the Sensicam models, they're very good in PIV applications, and apparently they also have Matlab drivers for this camera now (but only for Windows users). |
| JAI | -good value/money ratio. |
| VDS | -VDS Vosskühler. |
| Vision Research | -The Phantom cameras (high speed). |
| Weinberger | -High Speed cameras |
| Redlake | - their MegaPlus ES 1020 looks like a good PIV camera. |
| Photron | -high speed cameras. The Photron APX does 3000fps at 1Kx1K resolution. Very good camera, but also rather expensive. |
| Big Sky Laser Tech. Inc. | -laser manufacturer. |
| Coherent | -laser manufacturer. |
| Lambda Photonics | -laser manufacturer. |
| New Wave Research | -laser manufacturer. Has an interesting 10mJ @ 2,000 Hz laser. |
| PIV standard project | -very good initiative to standardize the Particle Image Velocimetry technique. |
| PIV Challenge | -competition comparing different PIV codes. |
| PIV course | -Annual course on PIV held by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Gottingen, Germany. |
