StarIDPyramid:

Path: SpacecraftEstimation/StellarAttDet

% STARIDPYRAMID Identifies the best star matches using triads.
 One or more measurements may be bad. This routine requires at least three
 measurements. Assumes a pinhole transformation with Pix2U; you must set the
 pixel scale factor in the options for successful star identification.
