Using the script general_json2yolo.py, you can convert the RLE mask with holes to the YOLO segmentation format.

The RLE mask is converted to a parent polygon and a child polygon using cv2.findContours().
The parent polygon points are sorted in clockwise order.
The child polygon points are sorted in counterclockwise order.
Detect the nearest point in the parent polygon and in the child polygon.
Connect those 2 points with narrow 2 lines.
So that the polygon with a hole is saved in the YOLO segmentation format.

The RLE mask.

The converted YOLO segmentation format.

To run the script, put the COCO JSON file coco_train.json into datasets/coco/annotations.
Run the script. python general_json2yolo.py
The converted YOLO txt files are saved in new_dir/labels/coco_train.

Edit use_segments and use_keypoints in the script.
