The invention relates to a method for detecting raindrops (26) on a windscreen of a vehicle, in which at least one image (30, 32, 34) is captured by a camera. An object extracted from the at least one image (30, 32, 34) captured by the camera is identified as a raindrop (26), if a confidence value assigned (S20) to the extracted object is above a predetermined threshold value. The threshold value is modified (S22) in dependence of the presence of an item (16) within the vehicle path. Moreover the invention relates to a camera assembly for detecting raindrops (26) on a windscreen of a vehicle.
