In a recent paper [Alpers, Poulsen, Knudsen & Herman (2006). J. Appl. Cryst.39, 582–588] a stochastic algorithm was presented for reconstruction of grain maps of undeformed polycrystals based on X‐ray diffraction data. Here the formalism is extended to moderately deformed specimens. Each two‐dimensional section of the specimen is reconstructed independently. Using a dual assignment of a grain label and an orientation to each pixel in a section and a prior model based on methods of discrete tomography, our stochastic algorithm converges in a few minutes for a map. Simulations with higher than typical levels of noise in the data collection for three typical moderately deformed microstructures resulted in grain maps with the fraction of erroneously assigned pixels being 1.7% or much less.
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.
