+
+Please see the manual contained in "csm_manual.pdf". See below for a quick description.
+
+
+**What is this.** I created this package:
+
+- To have a well-documented reference implementation of [PL-ICP](http://purl.org/censi/2007/plicp). If you are only interested in the core algorithm of PL-ICP, a [separate concise implementation in C/Matlab/Ruby](http://purl.org/censi/2007/gpc) is available.
+
+- To have a **trustworthy** scan matcher to be used in the experiments for some papers on [ICP covariance](http://purl.org/censi/2006/icpcov), [the Cramer-Rao bound for range finders](http://purl.org/censi/2006/accuracy), and [robot calibration](http://purl.org/censi/2007/calib).  For batch experiments, it's also useful that it's pretty fast.
+
+- To have a collection of utilies for command line (UNIX-style) manipulation of laser data,
+  and creating [beautiful maps][map-example] and animations.
+
+The package contains also a Ruby wrapper for the C library, and additional Ruby and a Matlab implementations of the same algorithm. These are not as usable or documented as the C version.
+
+**What it is NOT**: Note that this is not a full-featured SLAM solution: this only does pairwise scan-matching between scans (but it's really good at it!).
+If you are looking for a more complete SLAM solution, please see the projects listed in the [OpenSLAM](http://www.openslam.org) page; in particular you can have a look at [GMapping].
