    There is no clear criterion yet for evaluating wipers based on performances of wiping raindrops and visibility in forward view. In the visibility evaluation in rainy driving, it is important to examine spatial frequency and contrast of objects in forward view. Spatial frequency and contrast of image which were affected by raindrops are calculated based on them of background board which were printed stripe patterns. Variations with time of power of analysed frequency and decreased contrast are synchronized with motion of the wiper for the all experimental cases. Moreover, we executed questionnaire, and evaluated the view of the background board. These results show that the proposed methods have been validated in evaluation with wiping performance.
