+
+Top level directory structure:
+
+  cmake  CMake modules directory.
+
+  cmd    Command line utilities. These are primarily used for training the
+         deformable model. The python subdirectory provides simple scripts to
+         run these utilities over batches of files.
+
+  data   The learned data files. This includes PCA data files and a parts file.
+
+  dml    Deformable Model Library. This library contains the all the functions
+         and classes used in optimizing the vehicle shape from multiple views
+         or video. The python subdirectory builds a module to provide a python
+         interface to run experiments.
+
+  gui    Graphical User Interface. This directory contains wxWidgets based GUI
+         for running experiments and visual debugging.
+
+  klt    Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi Feature Tracker. This is 3rd party code written by
+         Stan Birchfield.  It has its own license, see the klt/README file.
+
+  spl    Stream Processing Library.  This library provides a video stream
+         processing framework.
