New 2D Flow Visualization Method Based on Mutual Information and Image Fusion

Abstract

Abstract: A overview of flow visualization method based on information theory was made. After a comparative analysis of several classic two-dimensional flow visualization techniques, the concept of mutual information from information theory and image fusion technique was used to deal with the existing classical two-dimensional flow visualization techniques. A new two-dimensional flow visualization technique was obtained. The visualization results of the new method is very well.

Key words: mutual information, image fusion, 2D flow, visualization
