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.

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