Even a <strong>binary classification dataset<\/strong> would be enough. What matters most is that the classes should differ in their <strong>topological structure<\/strong>, ideally in the number of holes \/ loops \/ cavities, so that TDA has a meaningful signal to detect.<\/p>\n<p>For example, something like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>sphere \/ ball-like objects vs torus \/ ring-like objects<\/li>\n<li>solid object vs object with a tunnel<\/li>\n<li>objects with different numbers of handles or holes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ideally, each class should contain many samples (600+), or the dataset should contain enough CAD\/mesh models so that I can sample many point clouds from them.<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone know of a dataset that fits this description?
