Using mirrored stereoimagine to measure droplet volume

Justin Walker-3
I have been using imageJ to find the area of droplets resulting from the
breakup of a circular jet.  However, I have discovered that my assumption
that the droplets are axisymmetric is not correct - so I need to figure out
the droplet's true volume.  I intend to put a mirror in my cell so that the
images will contain the 'straight on' view of the droplet, as well as a
'side view'.  Between these two it should be possible to calculate the
droplet's true volume.

Has anyone had any success in processing these types of images with ImageJ?
 Is there are better solution?  Each image typically contains 4-10 drops and
I need to process tens of thousands of images, so it definitely needs to be
something scriptable.

I would appreciate any suggestions you all have.
