Accurate and fast localization of EBSD pattern centers for screen moving technology

•The accuracy of measurement of the PC on simulated patterns was better than 4.6×10−6.•Significantly increased efficiency realized by using the global cross-correlation and the ICGN.•The large radius of convergence made the proposed algorithm more robust to the initial estimate.•Errors in measurements caused by the tilt motion of the camera were related only to the tilt angle of its motion and the detector distance.
