double_c_data

double_c_data, a MATLAB code which can create, plot, or save a "double C" dataset.

The data is confined to two separate regions, each having the shape of the letter "C". The two regions are close, and interlocking, but do not actually touch. This data represents a difficult challenge for algorithms that attempt to detect natural segmentations of data.
