def unstack_annotations(annotations_sframe, num_rows=None):
    """
    Converts object detection annotations (ground truth or predictions) to
    unstacked format (an `SArray` where each element is a list of object
    instances).

    Parameters
    ----------
    annotations_sframe: SFrame
        An `SFrame` with stacked predictions, produced by the
        `stack_annotations` function.

    num_rows: int
        Optionally specify the number of rows in your original dataset, so that
        all get represented in the unstacked format, regardless of whether or
        not they had instances or not.

    Returns
    -------
    annotations_sarray: An `SArray` with unstacked annotations.

    If you have annotations in stacked format:
