Official API for the COCO (Common Objects in Context) dataset, providing Matlab, Python, and Lua interfaces to load, parse, and visualize COCO annotations. It supports tasks such as object detection, segmentation, person keypoints detection, stuff segmentation, and caption generation.

Use cases

• load and parse COCO annotation files
• visualize object detection and segmentation annotations
• evaluate object detection models on COCO
• work with person keypoints annotations
• prepare COCO data for training detection models

When to choose

• you are training or evaluating models on the COCO dataset
• you need to inspect or visualize COCO annotations
• you need standard COCO evaluation metrics like mAP

When to avoid

• you work with datasets other than COCO format without conversion
• you need a maintained library with active development
• you need APIs beyond Matlab, Python, or Lua
