Fluids %V 45 %N 4 %P 595-608 %X We present in this paper a novel combined scheme dedicated to the measurement of velocity in fluid experimental flows through image sequences. The proposed technique satisfies the Navier-Stokes equations and combines the robustness of correlation techniques with the high density of global variational methods. It can be considered either as a reenforcement of fluid dedicated optical-flow methods towards robustness, or as an enhancement of correlation approaches towards dense information. This results in a physics-based technique that is robust under noise and outliers, while providing a dense motion field. The method was applied on synthetic images and on real experiments in turbulent flows carried out to allow a thorough comparison with a state of the art variational and correlation methods. %U http://www.irisa.fr/fluminance/publi/papers/2008_EIF_heitz_etal.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00348-008-0567-4 %D 2008
