Description

The Filter finds the Orientation Distribution Function (ODF).
The ODF is defined as the volume fraction of grains with a certain orientation vector. The orientation vector is normally identified using three Euler angles which are used to describe the transition from the sample’s reference frame into the crystallographic reference frame of each individual grain of the polycrystal. One thus ends up with a large set of different Euler angles, the distribution of which is described by the ODF.
The full 3D representation of crystallographic texture is given by the Orientation Distribution Function (ODF). Subsequently, all pole figures can be derived from the ODF. --------------

For in-depth discussion of Texture and ODFs the following source is suggested:

This site (Prof. Tony Rollett, CMU) contains source material that is very helpful in explaining Texture and the related concepts, including ODF.
