Hi!
When working with large numbers of bboxes (at least outside of the neural network domain), it is useful to use sparse matrixes (as most bboxes won't overlap).
I have mashed together a some very simple support for that here, mostly as a discussion starter. Would you be ok with including something along these lines?
If so, I'd be happy to discuss how to make a better PR (for now, I basically included two copies of the code, one sparse and one dense, which is not optimal, but at least does not slow down either implementation).
Usage example:
Best regards,
