Assigned to Next Minor Release

Kernel Density Estimation

Improve automatic optimal kernel detection from EBSD data

Planned for Next Minor Release

Grain Boundary Analysis (Florian Bachmann)

Plotting: support datacursor for spherical projections, (pole figures, inverse pole figure, odf plots) to get coordinate (and function value)

Assigned to Next Major Release

Robust Mean Computation

Find and implement an algorithm that finds under certain conditions the true mean orientation for a given set of orientations!

Bingham Distribution

compute Fouriercoefficients of Bingham ODFs.

Future

EBSD Statistics

Implement results of K. G. v.d. Boogaart dissertation. i.e. allow MTEX to answer the following questions:

Misorientation Analysis

Allow to compute an misorientation ODF from EBSD data. Therefore, a new class MODF is needed which differs from an ordinary ODF by the fact that the specimen symmetry is replaced by the crystal symmetry of the second phase.

This requires a better find functionality in SO3Grid

ODF Analysis

Provide a function that is able to approximate an ODF by a small number of simple components, i.e. unimodal components and fibres.

Joined Counts

Incorporate the results of M�ller.

Grain Simulation

Allow to simulate grains under certain assumptions. To be used for joined counts statistics and ODF -> MODF analysis.

Voronoi Decomposition of the Orientation Space

Use the Rodriguez representation to compute an Voronoi neighborhood graph of a set of orientations. This can be used for faster searching in SO3Grids and for the decomposition of ODFs into components.

New Class Fibre

Implement a new class fibre, which can be used for any computations involving fibres.

Minor Improvements

Supported/Implemented since MTEX 3.3

Single Grain Analysis

Topological Grain Data Structure (Florian Bachmann)

The function segment2d should provide a grain class that allows to answer questions like:

Therefore not only the neigbouring grains has to be stored in the grain object but also the line segment representing the grain boundary.

Supported/Implemented since MTEX 3.1

Computation of Material Properties

Compute various macroscopic material properties for EBSD data and ODFs.

Supported/Implemented since MTEX 3.*

Bingham Distribution

Implement Bingham parameter estimation from EBSD data
