Hi! This exists as a standalone library which means you don't have to go through the trouble of cloning the tensorflow/models repository and using the specific functions you need. Moreover, I'd argue this code is easier to follow (ymmv) than Tensorflow's and it would be easier to debug if the user needs to make modifications themselves. Additionally, this library also gives you some extra visualizations you can use on your bounding boxes.
