Symmetry-aware super-resolution of crystal orientation maps via invariant latent-space learning

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.10898v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Crystal-orientation maps are physical fields defined only up to crystal symmetry; electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) resolves them experimentally, but acquisition-time constraints limit spatial resolution. Unlike conventional images, EBSD data lie on the quotient space $\mathrm{SO}(3)/G$, where $G$ is the crystal-symmetry group. Standard Euclidean interpolation can therefore mix symmetry-equivalent representations and blur grain boundaries. We introduce the Symmetry-Group-Aware Super-Resolution Attention Network (SG-SRAN), which incorporates crystal symmetry and boundary preservation by design. A frozen, locally isometric encoder maps equivalent orientations to a common latent representation in which Euclidean distance approximates mis
