abstract CalibrationEstimator.estimate()

Estimates an updated camera model that better transforms the camera frame directions into pixel locations to minimize the residuals between the observed and the predicted star locations.

Typically, upon successful completion, the updated camera model is stored in the model attribute, the successful should return True, and postfit_residuals and postfit_covariance should both be not None. If estimation is unsuccessful, then successful should be set to False and everything else will be ignored so you can do whatever you want with it.

Return type:

None
