Abstract
An automated approach to reconstruct spherical Kikuchi maps from experimentally collected electron backscatter diffraction patterns and overlay each pattern onto its corresponding position on a simulated Kikuchi sphere is presented in this study. This work demonstrates the feasibility of warping any Kikuchi pattern onto its corresponding location of a simulated Kikuchi sphere and reconstructing a spherical Kikuchi map of a known phase based on any set of experimental patterns. The proposed method is the first automated approach to reconstructing spherical Kikuchi maps from experimental Kikuchi patterns. It potentially enables more accurate orientation calculation, new pattern center refinement methods, improved dictionary-based pattern matching, and phase identification in the future.
