ERROR: Could not build wheels for pycocotools, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

As an AI language model, I don't have access to your local environment to diagnose the issue. However, this error occurs when the Python environment does not have the necessary dependencies to build the wheel for pycocotools. You can try the following steps to resolve the issue:

1. Install the necessary build dependencies:
- On Linux: `sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev`
- On macOS: `xcode-select --install`
2. Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools for Windows (if not already installed): https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
3. Install the pycocotools package separately: `pip install pycocotools`
4. Try installing your project again: `pip install -e .`

If the issue still persists, you may need to further diagnose the issue by checking the logs or seeking help from the package maintainers.
