    Load semantic segmentation datasets. All files under "gt_root" with "gt_ext" extension are
    treated as ground truth annotations and all files under "image_root" with "image_ext" extension
    as input images. Ground truth and input images are matched using file paths relative to
    "gt_root" and "image_root" respectively without taking into account file extensions.
    This works for COCO as well as some other datasets.

    Args:
        gt_root (str): full path to ground truth semantic segmentation files. Semantic segmentation
            annotations are stored as images with integer values in pixels that represent
            corresponding semantic labels.
        image_root (str): the directory where the input images are.
        gt_ext (str): file extension for ground truth annotations.

    Notes:
