About MoonDreamNext Detection
Choose `task_type` as bbox_detection, point_detection or gaze_detection, and describe the target in `detection_prompt`. Options include `use_ensemble` for gaze detection and `combine_points` for point detection. It returns an image with the visualization (toggle with `show_visualization`) and the results as text.
Parameters
Send either the canonical name or the native name, not both. Canonical names
