OpenPTV is based on the core algorithms developed at ETH Zurich, see 3D-PTV. The branches of the Zurich code have been developed independently by TU/e group of Turbulence and Vortex Dynamics (C++ version with Tcl/Tk and few new algorithms of general coordinate transformation) and by the Turbulence Structure Laboratory at Tel Aviv University (Python version, PyPTV). Following the meeting at TU/e in October 2012, the three groups (ETH, TU/e and TAU) decided to release their software under open source licenses.
