ImportError: cannot import name 'process_mmdet_results' from 'mmpose.apis' (/picassox/sfs-mtlab-train-base/segmentation/hyh5/envs/PCT2/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mmpose/apis/init.py)

Additional information

I want to use function of process_mmdet_results, but it seems that it has been removed from inference.py. Is there any solution for this requirement? Thank you.
