Short summary
This paper reports a novel rain droplet measurement method that uses a neuromorphic event camera to measure droplet sizes and speeds as they fall through a shallow plane of focus. Experimental results report accuracy similar to a commercial laser sheet disdrometer. Because these measurements are driven by event camera activity, this approach could enable the economical deployment of ubiquitous networks of solar-powered disdrometers.
