Now that we're starting to see detections out of off-the-shelf solutions in #5, we'll soon turn towards fine tuning with in-domain data. We need a tool that:
Lets human annotators quickly mark bounding boxes or segmentation masks and
Produces standard annotation formats
What other do:
Villa homerolled one in Python ontop of OpenCV's gui stuff and grabcut. It didn't produce actual segmentation masks, but would rather use the segmentation to cut out the object and put in random backgrounds as data augmentation. It would dump out bbox annotations for training YOLO
Labeling images is a big part of @Home (witness: this Homer blog post).

We really shouldn't have to build something this generic. Searching GitHub, I can already see some popular options https://github.com/wkentaro/labelme https://github.com/abreheret/PixelAnnotationTool https://github.com/kyamagu/js-segment-annotator https://github.com/hanskrupakar/COCO-Style-Dataset-Generator-GUI
We should find the most-used option that addresses our needs
