bounding box

Object's spatial envelope

A bounding box is the smallest rectangle that completely encloses a shape or object, with sides parallel to the coordinate axes.

In computer graphics, image processing, and machine learning, bounding boxes identify regions of interest: The algorithm draws bounding boxes around detected faces.

They simplify collision detection in games and define cropping areas in image editing.
