contents Convolutional neural networks are increasingly being used to analyze and classify material microstructures, motivated by the possibility that they will be able to identify relevant microstructural features more efficiently and impartially than human experts. While up to now convolutional neural networks have mostly been applied to light optimal microscopy and scanning electron microscope micrographs, application to EBSD micrographs will be increasingly common as rational design generates materials with unknown textures and phase compositions. This raises the question of how crystallographic orientation should be represented in such a convolutional neural network, and whether this choice has a significant effect on the network's analysis and classification accuracy. Four representations of orientation information are examined and are used with convolutional neural networks to classify five synthetic microstructures with varying textures and grain geometries. Of these, a spectral embedding of crystallographic orientations in a space that respects the crystallographic symmetries performs by far the best, even when the network is trained on small volumes of data such as could be accessible by practical experiments.
