EBSP Indexer is a graphical user interface that allows for processing and indexing of Electron backscatter patterns, generated by scanning electron microscopes. Its goal is to make the rich functionality of the open-source library kikuchipy more accessible to users, without requiring knowledge of python or the library itself. The GUI currently supports: - Dictionary Indexing (powered by kikuchipy) and Hough Indexing (powered by PyEBSDIndex) - Refinement of Orientations in a crystal map (powered by kikuchipy) - Inspection of patterns before and after indexing - Signal improvements (powered by kikuchipy) - Multiple approaches for calibrating pattern/projection center - Cropping of datasets - Pre- and post-indexing maps - Terminal witch access to python environment Known issues: - macOS might experience leaked semaphores when creating images in threads, e.g. Inverse Pole Figure Map in Hough Indexing. As of now, it is recommended to run indexing without generating images on Mac. - Refinement of orientations of a crystal map which includes not_indexed points, might produce results that cannot be opened in signal navigation. - Updating the application's settings will set the current working directory to the specified default directory (if checked). - Updating the application's settings will reset the current selected file, even though it appears to be selected. - When saving a merged crystal map in the case where only one phase is identified, save will fail since a crystal map with the same name exists already. Minimum requirements: - Windows 10/11 **or** macOS 13 (Ventura) - x86_64-based CPU (arm64 chipset is experimental) Installation (Windows): - Download and run EBSP_Indexer_0.1.0_Win_x86_install.exe, and follow the installation instructions. Installation (macOS): - Download and unpack EBSP_Indexer_0.1.0_macOS_x86_64.zip, and run the application.
