Within this paper we present Part2Track, a MATLAB software package for the evaluation of 2D Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) measurements. Part2Track is not only capable of handling time resolved image series but also double frame image sets, which are commonly recorded by standard PIV systems. The following work covers a short description of the package’s functionalities and a performance analysis on synthetic images. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of handling realistic, experimental data, two test cases are provided.
