Citing CameraTransform

If you use CameraTransform for academic research, you are highly encouraged (though not required) to cite the following paper:

• Gerum, R., Richter, S., Winterl, A., Mark, M., Fabry, B., Le Bohec, C., and Zitterbart, D.P. (2019), “CameraTransform: A Python package for perspective corrections and image mapping”. SoftwareX doi:10.1016/j.softx.2019.100333

CameraTransform is developed primarily by academics, and so citations matter a lot to us. Citing CameraTransform also increases it’s exposure and potential user (and developer) base, which is to the benefit of all users of CameraTransform. Thanks in advance!
