Removal of Adherent Waterdrops in Images by Using Multiple Cameras

1 In this paper, we propose a new method for the removal of view-disturbing waterdrops from images taken with multiple cameras. In rainy days, it is often the case that scenes taken by the camera are hard to see because of adherent waterdrops on the surface of the lens protecting glass. The proposed method analyses multiple camera images describing the same scene, and synthesizes an image in which adherent waterdrops are eliminated.
