    Load a json file with COCO's instances annotation format.
    Currently supports instance detection, instance segmentation,

            * Put "thing_classes" into the metadata associated with this dataset.
            * Map the category ids into a contiguous range (needed by standard dataset format),
              and add "thing_dataset_id_to_contiguous_id" to the metadata associated
