contents Mechanical properties in crystals are strongly correlated to the arrangement of 1D line defects, termed dislocations. Recently, Dark field X-ray Microscopy (DFXM) has emerged as a new tool to image and interpret dislocations within crystals using multidimensional scans. However, the methods required to reconstruct meaningful dislocation information from high-dimensional DFXM scans are still nascent and require significant manual oversight (i.e. \textit{supervision}). In this work, we present a new relatively unsupervised method that extracts dislocation-specific information (features) from a 3D dataset ($x$, $y$, $ϕ$) using Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization to represent the large dataset as an array of 3-component feature vectors for each position, corresponding to the weak-beam conditions and the strong-beam condition. This method offers key opportunities to significantly reduce dataset size while preserving only the crystallographic information that is important for data reconstruction.
