Rotated bounding boxes

[ogencoglu]

Thanks for the work!

If I understood correctly, this library works only on axis-aligned bounding boxes. Any plans on supporting rotated bounding boxes?

Hi !
Yes I have this in mind too :) I'll add it in the future

Great! Especially fitting a rotated box to an arbitrarily shaped polygon would be super useful:

1. one that maximizes Intersection over Union
2. one that minimizes Hausdorff distance between contours
3. one that minimizes the bbox area while encapsulating the whole polygon (e.g. standard bbox fit in opencv)

In fact, number 1 & 2 would already be relevant for the current axis-aligned bboxes.

Hi :)
Some support of rotated bounding boxes was added with #33 #37 and #43

fitting a rotated box to an arbitrarily shaped polygon would be super useful:

Regarding this, I'm not sure to add it in near future, since it involves taking polygons as input and it's not what I envisioned for the lib

Thanks!
