Auto-fit points #4

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Objects typically change their bounding box size only slightly, e.g. moving pedestrians (hands/feet move) or cars (apparent object size changes slightly as distance and angle to the sensor vary). After an initial box size annotation, further annotations repeatedly increase the box and shrink it to fit the points. Doing that manually involves a couple of steps (clicking expand box / shrink to points several times, or adjusting individual axis several times and calling shrink to points).

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice to automate the above steps further with the help of an auto-fit feature: It should expand the box to include nearby points, and shrink it to the points inside finally. Ideally there is some kind of heuristic to avoid growing into nearby other objects.
