Our contribution deals with fast computation of dense two-component (2C) PIV vector fields using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We show that iterative gradient-based cross-correlation optimization is an accurate and efficient alternative to multi-pass processing with FFT-based cross-correlation. Density is meant here from the sampling point of view (we obtain one vector per pixel), since the presented algorithm, folki, naturally performs fast correlation optimization over interrogation windows with maximal overlap. The processing of 5 image pairs (1,376 x
