Raindrop Detection from In-Vehicle Video Camera Images for Rainfall Judgment

摘要

In this paper, we propose a method to detect raindrops from in-vehicle camera images and recognize rainfall using time-series information. We aim to improve the accuracy of raindrop detection by averaging the test images and frame-matching the result of raindrop detection in multiple adjoin-ing frames. According to an evaluation experiment, rain-drops were detected precisely enough for automatic wiper control by the proposed method.
