读coco数据集的代码接口了解segmentation的处理方法

COCO数据集是微软团队制作的一个数据集，通过这个数据集我们可以训练到神经网络对图像进行detection，classification，segmentation，captioning。具体介绍请祥见官网。

Object Instance Annotations

Each instance annotation contains a series of fields, including the category id and segmentation mask of the object. The segmentation format depends on whether the instance represents a single object (iscrowd=0 in which case polygons are used) or a collection of objects (iscrowd=1 in which case RLE is used). Note that a single object (iscrowd=0) may require multiple polygons, for example if occluded. Crowd annotations (iscrowd=1) are used to label large groups of objects (e.g. a crowd of people). In addition, an enclosing bounding box is provided for each object (box coordinates are measured from the top left image corner and are 0-indexed). Finally, the categories field of the annotation structure stores the mapping of cate
