Detailed Description

An attitude estimation algorithm estimates the orientation of the camera based on identified stars.

Subclasses should have a constructor which stores any configuration values in private fields, and then override the Go method to perform the actual attitude estimation.

Member Function Documentation

Go()

virtual Attitude lost::AttitudeEstimationAlgorithm::Go ( const Camera & , const Stars & , const Catalog & , const StarIdentifiers &  )

pure virtual

Actually run the star-id algorithm.

Uses the given centroids and star identifiers to come up with an attitude estimate which minimizes error.

Todo

More detail in return type (eg, whether attitude estimation failed, measure of error)

Implemented in lost::DavenportQAlgorithm, lost::QuestAlgorithm, and lost::TriadAlgorithm.
