Welcome to OpenXY!

OpenXY is an analysis package developed by Brigham Young University, written in Matlab, for performing cross-correlation analysis of High-Resolution Electron Backscatter Diffraction (HR-EBSD) patterns

Capabilities

OpenXY has the following analysis functions

• Perform HR-EBSD cross-correlation analysis to achieve higher-accuracy orientations
• Use real, kinematically or dynamically simulated reference patterns
• Works for single and multi-grain scans
• Calculate geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) content
• Use strain-minimization pattern-center calibration to improve pattern-center accuracy
• Supports Oxford HKL(.ctf, .cpr) and OIM(.ang) data formats
• Supports square, line, and hexagonal scans
• Supports all common image formats

System Requirements

• Matlab is required. Version 2014b or higher recommended. (Compiled version to be released at a later date)
• Parallel Computing Toolbox Required (This requirement may be made optional in future releases)
• Image Processing Toolbox Required (This requirement may be made optional in future releases)
• Multi-core processor (high-end i7 processor) recommended
• Minimum of 8 GB of RAM recommended
• Mac (OS X Yosemite or newer) needed to generate dynamically simulated images using EMsoft
