description A rapid method for evaluating raindrop size and size distribution has been developed. It is based on image processing with correlation analysis in the frequency domain. This technique has the advantage of being a direct measurement method that automatically identifies and counts raindrops. Calibration was carried out using a standard image with known raindrop sizes. Drop sizes, ranging from less than 0.1 to over 85 mm in diameter, have been automatically recognized and successfully measured. Error was not larger than 1.5%. In addition, practical examples of use of the method for determining characteristics of raindrops in rainfall are presented.
