Detailed Description

The "de facto" star-id algorithm used in many real-world missions.

Pyramid searches through groups of 4 stars in the image. For each one it tries to find a corresponding 4-star pattern in the database. Four stars is enough that pyramid is often able to uniquely match the first 4-star pattern it tries, making it fast and reliable. However, this only holds true if the camera is calibrated and has low centroid error.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PyramidStarIdAlgorithm()

lost::PyramidStarIdAlgorithm::PyramidStarIdAlgorithm	(	decimal	tolerance,
		int	numFalseStars,
		decimal	maxMismatchProbability,
		long	cutoff
	)

inline

Parameters

tolerance	Angular tolerance (Two inter-star distances are considered the same if within this many radians)
numFalseStars	an estimate of the number of false stars in the whole celestial sphere (not just the field of view). Eg, if you estimate 10 dead pixels in a 40 degree FOV, you'd want to multiply that up to a hundred-something numFalseStars.
maxMismatchProbability	The maximum allowable probability for any star to be mis-id'd.
cutoff	Maximum number of pyramids to iterate through before giving up.
