/*
    This example shows how to train a instance segmentation net using the PASCAL VOC2012
    dataset.  For an introduction to what segmentation is, see the accompanying header file
    dnn_instance_segmentation_ex.h.

    Instructions how to run the example:
    1. Download the PASCAL VOC2012 data, and untar it somewhere.
       http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2012/VOCtrainval_11-May-2012.tar
    2. Build the dnn_instance_segmentation_train_ex example program.
    3. Run:
       ./dnn_instance_segmentation_train_ex /path/to/VOC2012
    4. Wait while the network is being trained.
    5. Build the dnn_instance_segmentation_ex example program.
    6. Run:
       ./dnn_instance_segmentation_ex /path/to/VOC2012-or-other-images

    It would be a good idea to become familiar with dlib's DNN tooling before reading this
    example.  So you should read dnn_introduction_ex.cpp, dnn_introduction2_ex.cpp,
    and dnn_semantic_segmentation_train_ex.cpp before reading this example program.
