fswebcam - Small and simple webcam software for *nix.

Created by Philip Heron phil@sanslogic.co.uk http://www.sanslogic.co.uk/fswebcam/

This is the program used to generate images for a webcam. It captures a number of frames from any V4L or V4L2 compatible device, averages them to reduce noise and draws the details on it using the GD Graphics Library which also handles compressing the image to PNG, JPEG or WEBP.
