Estimating and Simulating ODFs

How to define Model ODFs and recover ODFs from Pole Figure Data or EBSD Data

Model ODFsDescribes how to define model ODFs in MTEX, i.e., uniform ODFs, unimodal ODFs, fibre ODFs, Bingham ODFs and ODFs defined by its Fourier coefficients.
ODF Estimation from Pole Figure DataThis page describes how to use MTEX to estimate an ODF from pole figure data.
ODF Estimation from EBSD dataHow to estimate an ODF from single orientation measurements.
ODF Shapes (The class @kernel) standard distributions on SO(3)

Estimating ODFs from EBSD or pole figure data is one of the basic features of the MTEX toolbox. There is no difference between model ODFs and estimated ODFs, since they are both based on the class ODF, thus one can compare easily ODFs comming from Pole Figure Data with EBSD of the same sample, or even with an assumed model ODF.
