  <p>I am sure there are many more options out there.  This is just one that I am familiar with.  Good luck!!</p>

  Check out pytorch/pyvision. This is wonderful in that it has many great models that are pretrained that you can use to train your model on and then go further and use what is trained to train further. It has bounding boxes, silhouettes, segmentation, etc.
