Claim 0:
1. A method for improving an EBSD/TKD map comprising a plurality of data points, each data point being assigned to a corresponding grid point of a sample grid and representing crystal information based on a Kikuchi pattern detected for the grid point, the method comprising:
determining a defective data point of the EBSD/TKD map and a plurality of non-defective neighboring data points of the defective data point;
comparing Kikuchi bands of a Kikuchi pattern detected for a grid point corresponding to the defective data point with at least one simulated Kikuchi pattern corresponding to crystal information of the plurality of non-defective neighboring data points; and
assigning crystal information of one of the plurality of non-defective neighboring data points to the defective data point based on the comparing.
