Google also has a new detection algorithm and it looks much faster than Mask RCNN https://ai.googleblog.com/2020/04/efficientdet-towards-scalable-and.html
“EfficientNet: Improving Accuracy and Efficiency through AutoML and Model Scaling“
Of course the state of the art keeps improving, but this looks like a stepping stone.
