        Helper for dealing with MS-COCO annotations.
        
        ## Overview
        The MS COCO annotation format along with the pycocotools library is quite popular among the computer vision community. Yet I for one found it difficult to play around with the annotations. Deleting a specific category, combining multiple mini datasets to generate a larger dataset, viewing distribution of classes in the annotation file are things I would like to do without writing a separate script for each. The COCO Assistant is designed (or being designed) to assist with this problem. **Please note that currently, the Assistant can only help out with object detection datasets**. Any contributions and/or suggestions are welcome.
        
        ### Requirements
        Your data directory should look as follows:
        
        ```markdown
        Example:
        .
        ├── images
        │   ├── train
        │   ├── val
        |   ├── test
        |   
        ├── annotations
        │   ├── train.json
        │   ├── val.json
        │   ├── test.json
        
        ``` 
        
        ## Installation
        
        ### 1. Installation: pip </br>
        
        `pip install coco-assistant`
        
        ### 2. Installation: From Source
        ```markdown
        # Clone the repository
        git clone https://github.com/ashnair1/COCO-Assistant.git
        # Build and install the library
        make
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        Usage is similar to how you would use `pycocotools`
        
        ```markdown
        from coco_assistant import COCO_Assistant
        
        # Specify image and annotation directories
        img_dir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'images')
        ann_dir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'annotations')
        
        # Create COCO_Assistant object
        cas = COCO_Assistant(img_dir, ann_dir)
        ```
        ## Package features
        
        ### 1. Merge datasets
        
        The `merge` function allows you to merge multiple datasets.
        
        ```markdown
        In[1]: cas = COCO_Assistant(img_dir, ann_dir)                                                                                                                                                              
        loading annotations into memory...
        Done (t=0.09s)
        creating index...
        index created!
        loading annotations into memory...
        Done (t=0.06s)
        creating index...
        index created!
        
        In[2]: cas.merge(merge_images=True)

        ```
        The merged dataset (images and annotation) can be found in `./results/combination`
        
        ### 2. Remove categories
        
        Removes a specific category from an annotation file.
        
        ```markdown
        In[1]: cas = COCO_Assistant(img_dir, ann_dir)                                                                                                                                                              
        loading annotations into memory...
        Done (t=0.09s)
        creating index...
        index created!
        loading annotations into memory...
        Done (t=0.06s)
        creating index...
        index created!
         
        # In interactive mode
        In[2]: cas.remove_cat(interactive=True)
        ['tiny.json', 'tiny2.json']
        Who needs a cat removal?
        tiny.json
        
        Categories present:
        ['building', 'vehicles']
        
        Enter categories you wish to remove as a list:
        ['building']
        Removing specified categories...
        
        # In non-interactive mode
        In[3]: cas.remove_cat(interactive=False, jc="tiny.json", rcats=['building'])
        Removing specified categories...
        ```
        The modified annotation can be found in `./results/removal`
        
        ### 3. Generate annotation statistics
        
        1.  Generate countplot of instances per category that occur in the annotation files. 
         `cas.ann_stats(stat="area",arearng=[10,144,512,1e5],save=False)`
        
        2.  Generate pie-chart that shows distribution of objects according to their size (as specified in areaRng). 
         `cas.ann_stats(stat="cat", show_count=False, save=False)`
        
        ### 4. Visualise annotations
        
        Couldn't `pycocotools` visualise annotations (via [showAnns](https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi/blob/636becdc73d54283b3aac6d4ec363cffbb6f9b20/PythonAPI/pycocotools/coco.py#L233)) as well? Sure it could, but I required a way to freely view all the annotations of a particular dataset so here we are.
        
        ```markdown
        In[1]: cas.visualise()
        Choose directory:
        ['tiny', 'tiny2']
        tiny
        ```
        
        ![](./.github/visualiser.gif)
        
        ### 5. Generate segmentation masks
        The `cas.get_segmasks()` function allows you to create segmentation masks from your MS COCO object detection datasets. Similar to the Pascal VOC dataset, the mask values are their classes and a colour palette is applied to enable visualisation. The generated masks are stored in the `./results` folder. Samples are shown below.

        |----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
