Rainy weather recognition from in-vehicle camera images for driver assistance
Open accessAbstract
We propose a weather recognition method from in-vehicle camera images that uses a subspace method to judge rainy weather by detecting raindrops on the windshield. "Eigendrops" represent the principal components extracted from raindrop images in the learning stage. Then the method detects raindrops by template matching. In experiments using actual video sequences, our method showed good detection ability of raindrops and promising results for rainfall judgment from detection results.

To create Eigendrops, the camera needs to be focused on the windshield, which means it cannot be used for other vision-based automotive applications.
“Furthermore, to achieve strong and distinctive characteristics that are necessary to create the Eigendrops, the camera needs to be focused on the windshield which means it cannot be used for other vision-based automotive applications.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
