Abstract

In this work we develop a deep convolutional architecture to estimate the prior austenite structure from observed martensite electron backscatter diffraction micrographs. A novel data augmentation strategy randomizes the global reference coordinate system which makes it possible to train our model from only four micrographs. The model is much faster than algorithmic approaches and generalizes well when applied to micrographs of a different material. Empirical evidence suggests the efficacy of the model depends on the scale of the microstructure and receptive field of the vision model. This work demonstrates that modern computer vision approaches are well suited for capturing complex spatial-orientation patterns present in orientation imaging micrographs.
