Personally, "bounding box" is very clear to me, I might be biased.
It seems we are bikeshedding over a naming. I think it is more
constructive if we propose a better name as the only other option
proposed until now seems worst to me.

I think something like "AV_SIDE_DATA_DETECTION_BOUNDING_BOX" is
reasonable, as it conveys what it is and what it is used for.
