In material sciences applied to crystalline materials, such as metals or ceramics, the grain morphology (size and shape) and the crystallographic texture are of great importance for understanding the macroscopic behaviour of the materials.
Micromechanics of polycrystalline aggregates consists in evaluating the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the aggregates at their grain scale. If the investigated material is subjected to macroscopic deformation, the local strain can be obtained either experimentally, thanks to full-field measurement methods such as microgrid technique [@Allais:1994] or Digital Image Correlation (DIC) [@Hild:2002], or thanks to numerical simulation of the microstructure. The latter needs to take into account the mechanical heterogeneities (due to the different constituents) and the anisotropy of each phase, depending on its crystalline orientation.

Orientation Imaging Microscopy (OIM), usually made from Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), is now widely used as a characterization techniques. Indeed, it is in great interest for investigating the grain morphology and local crystal orientations in crystalline materials. Raw EBSD data can be considered as matrices of measurements of crystallographic data: each dot contains information about the phase and its orientation at the corresponding position.

In order to perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on a polycrystal, one needs to first generate a mesh based on either EBSD or reconstructed grains. In this mesh, the Grain Boundaries (GBs) must be accurately described since they play an important role in the overall behaviour of aggregates. Indeed, it is known that GBs increase the energy of the materials. The interfacial energy between two adjacent grains due to their boundary depends, among other parameters, on their misorientation and on the surface normal of the boundary [@Priester:2012]. In addition, @Zhong:2017 mentioned that the GB curvature is one of the most important properties of a microstructure. For instance, the driving force for grain growth depends on the local curvature of the GBs.
