Function Documentation

afw::table::ReferenceMatchVector lsst::meas::astrom::matchOptimisticB(afw::table::SimpleCatalog const &posRefCat, afw::table::SourceCatalog const &sourceCat, MatchOptimisticBControl const &control, afw::geom::SkyWcs const &wcs, int posRefBegInd = 0, bool verbose = false)

Match sources to stars in a position reference catalog using optimistic pattern matching B

Optimistic Pattern Matching is described in V. Tabur 2007, PASA, 24, 189-198 “Fast Algorithms for Matching CCD Images to a Stellar Catalogue”

Return

a list of matches; the d field may be set, but you should not rely on it
