  • Publication number: 20220136985
    Abstract: A method of analyzing a sample imaged by electron backscatter diffraction. The method comprises identifying a plurality of Kikuchi bands in an electron backscatter diffraction image of a position on the sample. The method further comprises forming, for each identified Kikuchi band, a respective vector representation of said Kikuchi band based at least in part on an estimate of the position on the sample. A configuration of the sample is determined by identifying a particular set of expected vector representations from a plurality of sets of expected vector representations as matching the vector representations of the plurality of identified Kikuchi bands.
