eSDK Pro Plugin API Overview

The eSDK Pro Plugin API extends the main eSDK Pro API by allowing developers to implement custom processing tasks as dynamically loaded modules. Plugin tasks derive from TaskWorker and use the same input, output, and parameter interfaces as built-in tasks.

This API enables seamless integration of user-defined algorithms, filters, or hardware-specific operations directly within eSDK Pro pipelines. Plugins are registered at runtime by using RegisterTaskPlugin() and can be added to any pipeline alongside standard SDK tasks.

In eCapture Pro 1.5.0, the eSDK Pro Plugin API also adds support for generic data ports. In addition to frame-based input and output, plugin tasks can now exchange generic data by using the Data, DataInput, and DataOutput classes.

Plugin API Class Summary

Class	Category	Purpose / Description
`TaskWorker`	Base Class	Defines the execution interface for plugin-based processing tasks.
`Plugin Task Parameter Classes`	Configuration	Represent configurable runtime parameters for plugin tasks.
`Plugin Input Classes`	Data Input	Define input ports for receiving frame data or generic data from the pipeline.
`Plugin Output Classes`	Data Output	Define output ports for sending processed frames or generic data downstream.
