+# MMDetection COCO
+
+## Format specification
+
+[MMDetection](https://mmdetection.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) is a training framework for object detection and instance segmentation tasks, providing a modular and flexible architecture that supports various state-of-the-art models, datasets, and training techniques. MMDetection has gained popularity in the research community for its comprehensive features and ease of use in developing and benchmarking object detection algorithms.
+MMDetection specifies their COCO format [here](https://mmdetection.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guides/dataset_prepare.html).
+
+Most of available tasks or formats are similar to the [original COCO format](./formats/coco), while only the image directories are separated with respect to subsets.
+In this document, we just describe the directory structure of MMDetection COCO format as per [here](https://mmdetection.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guides/dataset_prepare.html).
+MMDetection COCO dataset directory should have the following structure:
+
+<!--lint disable fenced-code-flag-->
+```
+└─ Dataset/
+    ├── <subset_name>/
+    │   ├── <image_name1.ext>
+    │   ├── <image_name2.ext>
+    │   └── ...
+    ├── <subset_name>/
+    │   ├── <image_name1.ext>
+    │   ├── <image_name2.ext>
+    │   └── ...
+    └── annotations/
+        ├── instances_<subset_name>.json
+        └── ...
+```
+
+### Import using CLI
+
+``` bash
+datum project create
+datum project import --format mmdet_coco <path/to/dataset>
+```
+
+### Import using Python API
+
+```python
+import datumaro as dm
+
+dataset = dm.Dataset.import_from('<path/to/dataset>', 'mmdet_coco')
+```
