This paper describes a new discrete method for inverting X‐ray pole figures to estimate the orientation distribution function (ODF). The method employs the equal‐volume `cubochoric' representation for uniform discretization of orientation space, SO(3). The forward‐projection model is combined with an anisotropic total variation term to iteratively determine the ODF. The efficacy of the new method is evaluated with both model and experimental data and compared with existing discrete and series expansion methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
