Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of interface systems and processing methods, and relates to an algorithm interface docking method, in particular to an efficient and standard algorithm interface docking method. Background Art
[0002] As facial recognition algorithms from different manufacturers and versions continue to emerge, the interface incompatibility and difficulty in replacement between algorithms have become increasingly prominent, posing huge challenges to developers and the implementation of application scenarios.
[0003] At present, there are many different face recognition algorithms on the market, each with its own unique interface design and data format requirements. This diversity means that in practical applications, if different algorithms are to be integrated into the same system or application, a lot of custom development and adaptation work must be done, which leads to longer development cycles, increased costs, and reduced system flexibility and maintainability.
[0004] In addition, due to the inconsistency of the interfaces between algorithms, once a specific face recognition algorithm is selected, it becomes very difficult to replace or upgrade it to another algorithm. This situation not only limits the rapid iteration of technology and the flexible response to application scenarios, but also limits the widespread adoption and promotion of new algorithms and technologies in the market.
[0005] The existing "interface system and processing method" mainly has the following defects and shortcomings:
[0006] Incompatible interfaces: The interface designs and data formats provided by different algorithms are not unified, resulting in a lot of custom development and adaptation work when integrating multiple algorithms. Difficulty in upgrading: Once a specific algorithm is selected, it becomes complicated and time-consuming to replace or upgrade to another algorithm, which limits the rapid iteration and flexible response of technology. Long development cycle: Due to inconsistent interfaces, developers need to spend extra time and resources to solve compatibility issues, which prolongs the development cycle and increases costs. Poor system flexibility: The flexibility and maintainability of the system are reduced, making it difficult to adapt to changing technical requirements and market environments.
[0007] To solve the above problems, we proposed an efficient and standard algorithm interface docking method.
[0008] After searching, no public documents of the prior art identical or similar to the present invention were found. Summary of the invention
