This is a bit of a reach but while I am brainstorming: In photoshop there is a "lasso" selection tool, where you can select some part of a photo and it expands the selection to contiguous pixels that are similar. I have no idea how this works but I could imagine a tool that I click on part of a black bird and the rest of the black bird is selected. this could potentially be used for creating polygon masks or in the context of bounding boxes it could just create a box that encompassed the selection. I think a tool like this could be a game-changer in creating training data for more complex image segmentation algorithms.
