We review two standard methods for structural classification in simulations of crystalline phases, the Common Neighbour Analysis and the Centrosymmetry Parameter. We explore the definitions and implementations of each of their common variants, and investigate their respective failure modes and classification biases. Simple modifications to both methods are proposed, which improve their robustness, interpretability, and applicability. We denote these variants the Interval Common Neighbour Analysis, and the Minimum-Weight Matching Centrosymmetry Parameter.
