Method Details

apply

public BufferedImage apply(BufferedImage image,
 ImageOp<BufferedImage> op)

Description copied from interface: VisionAlgorithmProvider

Applies a generic operation to an image.

Specified by:

apply in interface VisionAlgorithmProvider<BufferedImage>

createImage

public BufferedImage createImage(Object data,
 int width,
 int height)

Description copied from interface: VisionAlgorithmProvider

Creates a new image from the given data.

Specified by:

createImage in interface VisionAlgorithmProvider<BufferedImage>

getType

public String getType()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns the backend type category (e.g., "plotting", "molecular", "tensor", "math").

Specified by:

getType in interface Backend

Specified by:

getType in interface ComputeBackend

Specified by:

getType in interface CPUBackend

Specified by:

getType in interface VisionBackend

getId

public String getId()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns the unique identifier for this backend (e.g., "javafx", "jmol", "cuda").

Specified by:

getId in interface Backend

Specified by:

getId in interface ComputeBackend

Specified by:

getId in interface VisionBackend

getBackendName

public String getBackendName()

Description copied from interface: VisionBackend

Returns the friendly name of this backend instance.

Specified by:

getBackendName in interface VisionBackend

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns the display name for UI presentation.

Specified by:

getName in interface AlgorithmProvider

Specified by:

getName in interface Backend

Specified by:

getName in interface VisionAlgorithmProvider<BufferedImage>

Specified by:

getName in interface VisionBackend

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns a description of the backend.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Backend

Specified by:

getDescription in interface ComputeBackend

Specified by:

getDescription in interface VisionBackend

isAvailable

public boolean isAvailable()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Checks if this backend is currently available (libraries loaded, etc.).

Default implementation checks Backend.isExplicitlyDisabled() and returns false if it is.

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface AlgorithmProvider

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface Backend

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface VisionBackend

getPriority

public int getPriority()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns the priority for auto-selection (higher = preferred). Used when multiple backends are available.

Specified by:

getPriority in interface AlgorithmProvider

Specified by:

getPriority in interface Backend

Specified by:

getPriority in interface VisionBackend

createBackend

public Object createBackend()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Creates and returns the backend instance (or returns self if it is the backend).

Specified by:

createBackend in interface Backend

Specified by:

createBackend in interface ComputeBackend

Specified by:

createBackend in interface VisionBackend

Returns:

The backend implementation object

shutdown

public void shutdown()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Called when the application is shutting down or the backend is being replaced. Use this to release hardware resources, close file handles, or stop background threads.

Specified by:

shutdown in interface AlgorithmProvider

Specified by:

shutdown in interface Backend

Specified by:

shutdown in interface VisionBackend

getAcceleratorType

public HardwareAccelerator getAcceleratorType()

Description copied from interface: ComputeBackend

Returns the type of hardware accelerator used by this backend.

Specified by:

getAcceleratorType in interface ComputeBackend

Specified by:

getAcceleratorType in interface CPUBackend

Specified by:

getAcceleratorType in interface VisionBackend

Returns:

the accelerator type

createContext

public ExecutionContext createContext()

Description copied from interface: ComputeBackend

Creates an execution context for running operations.

The context should be used within a try-with-resources block to ensure proper cleanup of resources.

Specified by:

createContext in interface ComputeBackend

Specified by:

createContext in interface VisionBackend

Returns:

new execution context
