WhyCon is a vision-based localization system that can be used with low-cost web cameras, and achieves millimiter precision with very high performance. These characteristics enable it to be used as an alternative to more expensive systems available for research communities.

WhyCon was first presented on ICRA2013 conference and accepted for an extended version in the JINT journal.

If you use this software for your publication it is mandatory to cite using the references in the provided cite.bib file. Full URL to this file is: https://raw.github.com/lrse/whycon/master/cite.bib

Note that this .bib includes not only the references to the scientific works that describe the underlying method, but also a reference to the implementation for a specific (stable) version of the code on GitHub (look for the DOI containing the word "zenodo").

The installation process is really straightforward, as with any CMake based project. Once you downloaded the sources, enter the source directory and perform:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
