Image Archiving System of Falling Snow Particles for Long-term Observation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose image archiving system of falling snow particle for long-term observation. Natural falling snow particles were photographed using video camera. Snow particle images and that parameters were stored into the system. The functions of this system are retrieval by parameters of snow particle, and display the graph of size distribution, velocity distribution and relationship between diameter and velocity. This archiving system is useful for snow research.
