Before you use this dataset

Near-duplicate frames from the same press are not independent samples. Use held-out contact/material splits. The publisher links Figshare; that endpoint returned403 to this review tool, so file download was not verified.

Publisher sources checked 2026-10-05. Listing review checks the documentation, not downloaded data quality. Always check the exact release and terms.
