PtvPy is a free and open-source command line tool and Python library for particle tracking velocimetry enabling a flexible workflow with reproducible and reliable results. PtvPy depends on and extends functionality from the excellent library trackpy and provides a periphery to visualize, analyze and export the data involved.

PtvPy is developed at the Chair of Measurement & Sensor System Technique at the TU Dresden to facilitate data analysis. It was eventually published in 2019 as free and open-source software.
