Background:

Modern synchrotron sources generate large-scale diffraction datasets, posing significant computational challenges.
Analyzing these datasets requires robust methods for handling complex, noisy, and overlapping diffraction patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a unified algorithmic framework for analyzing both near-field (morphological) and far-field (orientational and strain) high-energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM) data.
To develop a comprehensive approach integrating diverse data streams for accurate microstructural and micromechanical analysis.

Main Methods:

Developed a generalized model for detector distortion correction.
Implemented robust algorithms for peak identification in noisy and overlapping patterns.
Created an efficient indexing formalism using Friedel pair symmetry and a decoupled iterative refinement scheme.

Main Results:

Achieved orientation accuracy of ~0.05° and position accuracy of ~10 µm on experimental Ti-7Al data.
Demonstrated a 190× improvement in lattice parameter precision on synthetic data compared to conventional methods.
Validated the framework using experimental and synthetic datasets, confirming its accuracy and efficiency.

Conclusions:

The integrated framework offers a powerful and extensible solution for processing HEDM data.
This methodology enables the transformation of raw diffraction images into actionable microstructural and micromechanical insights.
The approach addresses fundamental challenges in computational crystallography for modern experimental techniques.
