Low-cost open-source camera view splitter (quadscope) for flow diagnostics.

ABSTRACT: Camera view splitters use optical engineering to cast multiple images of a single target onto a single camera. For experiments in fluid dynamics, the ability to perform multivariate and multidimensional measurements is key to effectively studying complex thermofluidic phenomena. Generating multiple target views onto a single camera is a good way to reduce system costs by using fewer cameras. Currently, view splitting requires the purchase of expensive commercial lenses or the in-house design and fabrication of custom components, hindering the pace of research and development. Here, we provide an open-source design for a low-cost, general-purpose view splitter, providing up to four views per camera. All custom parts for the assembly are provided, which are designed for easy integration with
