    Parameters
    ----------
    X : ndarray of shape (n_samples, n_features, 3)
        Input data. Array of persistence diagrams, each a collection of
        triples [b, d, q] representing persistent topological features

    y : None
        There is no need for a target in a transformer, yet the pipeline

    Returns
    -------
    Xt : ndarray of shape (n_samples, n_homology_dimensions, n_bins)
        Betti curves: one curve (represented as a one-dimensional array
        of integer values) per sample and per homology dimension seen
