AWSRekognition

The service configuration used to instantiate this service client.

Returns the singleton service client. If the singleton object does not exist, the SDK instantiates the default service client with defaultServiceConfiguration from [AWSServiceManager defaultServiceManager]. The reference to this object is maintained by the SDK, and you do not need to retain it manually.

For example, set the default service configuration in - application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

Swift

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
   let credentialProvider = AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider(regionType: .USEast1, identityPoolId: "YourIdentityPoolId")
   let configuration = AWSServiceConfiguration(region: .USEast1, credentialsProvider: credentialProvider)
   AWSServiceManager.default().defaultServiceConfiguration = configuration

   return true

}

Objective-C

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
     AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider *credentialsProvider = [[AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider alloc] initWithRegionType:AWSRegionUSEast1
                                                                                                     identityPoolId:@"YourIdentityPoolId"];
     AWSServiceConfiguration *configuration = [[AWSServiceConfiguration alloc] initWithRegion:AWSRegionUSEast1
                                                                          credentialsProvider:credentialsProvider];
     [AWSServiceManager defaultServiceManager].defaultServiceConfiguration = configuration;

     return YES;
 }

Then call the following to get the default service client:

Swift

let Rekognition = AWSRekognition.default()

Objective-C

AWSRekognition *Rekognition = [AWSRekognition defaultRekognition];

Creates a service client with the given service configuration and registers it for the key.

For example, set the default service configuration in - application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

Swift

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
   let credentialProvider = AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider(regionType: .USEast1, identityPoolId: "YourIdentityPoolId")
   let configuration = AWSServiceConfiguration(region: .USWest2, credentialsProvider: credentialProvider)
   AWSRekognition.register(with: configuration!, forKey: "USWest2Rekognition")

   return true

}

Objective-C

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider *credentialsProvider = [[AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider alloc] initWithRegionType:AWSRegionUSEast1
                                                                                                    identityPoolId:@"YourIdentityPoolId"];
    AWSServiceConfiguration *configuration = [[AWSServiceConfiguration alloc] initWithRegion:AWSRegionUSWest2
                                                                         credentialsProvider:credentialsProvider];

    [AWSRekognition registerRekognitionWithConfiguration:configuration forKey:@"USWest2Rekognition"];

    return YES;
}

Then call the following to get the service client:

Swift

let Rekognition = AWSRekognition(forKey: "USWest2Rekognition")

Objective-C

AWSRekognition *Rekognition = [AWSRekognition RekognitionForKey:@"USWest2Rekognition"];

Retrieves the service client associated with the key. You need to call + registerRekognitionWithConfiguration:forKey: before invoking this method.

For example, set the default service configuration in - application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

Swift

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
   let credentialProvider = AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider(regionType: .USEast1, identityPoolId: "YourIdentityPoolId")
   let configuration = AWSServiceConfiguration(region: .USWest2, credentialsProvider: credentialProvider)
   AWSRekognition.register(with: configuration!, forKey: "USWest2Rekognition")

   return true

}

Objective-C

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider *credentialsProvider = [[AWSCognitoCredentialsProvider alloc] initWithRegionType:AWSRegionUSEast1
                                                                                                    identityPoolId:@"YourIdentityPoolId"];
    AWSServiceConfiguration *configuration = [[AWSServiceConfiguration alloc] initWithRegion:AWSRegionUSWest2
                                                                         credentialsProvider:credentialsProvider];

    [AWSRekognition registerRekognitionWithConfiguration:configuration forKey:@"USWest2Rekognition"];

    return YES;
}

Then call the following to get the service client:

Swift

let Rekognition = AWSRekognition(forKey: "USWest2Rekognition")

Objective-C

AWSRekognition *Rekognition = [AWSRekognition RekognitionForKey:@"USWest2Rekognition"];

Removes the service client associated with the key and release it.

Associates one or more faces with an existing UserID. Takes an array of FaceIds. Each FaceId that are present in the FaceIds list is associated with the provided UserID. The maximum number of total FaceIds per UserID is 100.

The UserMatchThreshold parameter specifies the minimum user match confidence required for the face to be associated with a UserID that has at least one FaceID already associated. This ensures that the FaceIds are associated with the right UserID. The value ranges from 0-100 and default value is 75.

If successful, an array of AssociatedFace objects containing the associated FaceIds is returned. If a given face is already associated with the given UserID, it will be ignored and will not be returned in the response. If a given face is already associated to a different UserID, isn’t found in the collection, doesn’t meet the UserMatchThreshold, or there are already 100 faces associated with the UserID, it will be returned as part of an array of UnsuccessfulFaceAssociations.

The UserStatus reflects the status of an operation which updates a UserID representation with a list of given faces. The UserStatus can be:

• ACTIVE - All associations or disassociations of FaceID(s) for a UserID are complete.

• CREATED - A UserID has been created, but has no FaceID(s) associated with it.

• UPDATING - A UserID is being updated and there are current associations or disassociations of FaceID(s) taking place.

Compares a face in the source input image with each of the 100 largest faces detected in the target input image.

If the source image contains multiple faces, the service detects the largest face and compares it with each face detected in the target image.

You pass the input and target images either as base64-encoded image bytes or as references to images in an Amazon S3 bucket. If you use the AWS CLI to call Amazon Rekognition operations, passing image bytes isn’t supported. The image must be formatted as a PNG or JPEG file.

In response, the operation returns an array of face matches ordered by similarity score in descending order. For each face match, the response provides a bounding box of the face, facial landmarks, pose details (pitch, roll, and yaw), quality (brightness and sharpness), and confidence value (indicating the level of confidence that the bounding box contains a face). The response also provides a similarity score, which indicates how closely the faces match.

CompareFaces also returns an array of faces that don’t match the source image. For each face, it returns a bounding box, confidence value, landmarks, pose details, and quality. The response also returns information about the face in the source image, including the bounding box of the face and confidence value.

The QualityFilter input parameter allows you to filter out detected faces that don’t meet a required quality bar. The quality bar is based on a variety of common use cases. Use QualityFilter to set the quality bar by specifying LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH. If you do not want to filter detected faces, specify NONE. The default value is NONE.

If the image doesn’t contain Exif metadata, CompareFaces returns orientation information for the source and target images. Use these values to display the images with the correct image orientation.

If no faces are detected in the source or target images, CompareFaces returns an InvalidParameterException error.

For an example, see Comparing Faces in Images in the Amazon Rekognition Developer Guide.

Copies a version of an Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels model from a source project to a destination project. The source and destination projects can be in different AWS accounts but must be in the same AWS Region. You can’t copy a model to another AWS service.

To copy a model version to a different AWS account, you need to create a resource-based policy known as a project policy. You attach the project policy to the source project by calling PutProjectPolicy. The project policy gives permission to copy the model version from a trusting AWS account to a trusted account.

For more information creating and attaching a project policy, see Attaching a project policy (SDK) in the Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels Developer Guide.

If you are copying a model version to a project in the same AWS account, you don’t need to create a project policy.

Copying a model version takes a while to complete. To get the current status, call DescribeProjectVersions and check the value of Status in the ProjectVersionDescription object. The copy operation has finished when the value of Status is COPYING_COMPLETED.

Creates a collection in an AWS Region. You can add faces to the collection using the IndexFaces operation.

For example, you might create collections, one for each of your application users. A user can then index faces using the IndexFaces operation and persist results in a specific collection. Then, a user can search the collection for faces in the user-specific container.

When you create a collection, it is associated with the latest version of the face model version.

This operation requires permissions to perform the rekognition:CreateCollection action. If you want to tag your collection, you also require permission to perform the rekognition:TagResource operation.

This API operation initiates a Face Liveness session. It returns a SessionId, which you can use to start streaming Face Liveness video and get the results for a Face Liveness session.

You can use the OutputConfig option in the Settings parameter to provide an Amazon S3 bucket location. The Amazon S3 bucket stores reference images and audit images. If no Amazon S3 bucket is defined, raw bytes are sent instead.

You can use AuditImagesLimit to limit the number of audit images returned when GetFaceLivenessSessionResults is called. This number is between 0 and 4. By default, it is set to 0. The limit is best effort and based on the duration of the selfie-video.

Creates an Amazon Rekognition stream processor that you can use to detect and recognize faces or to detect labels in a streaming video.

Amazon Rekognition Video is a consumer of live video from Amazon Kinesis Video Streams. There are two different settings for stream processors in Amazon Rekognition: detecting faces and detecting labels.

• If you are creating a stream processor for detecting faces, you provide as input a Kinesis video stream (Input) and a Kinesis data stream (Output) stream for receiving the output. You must use the FaceSearch option in Settings, specifying the collection that contains the faces you want to recognize. After you have finished analyzing a streaming video, use StopStreamProcessor to stop processing.

• If you are creating a stream processor to detect labels, you provide as input a Kinesis video stream (Input), Amazon S3 bucket information (Output), and an Amazon SNS topic ARN (NotificationChannel). You can also provide a KMS key ID to encrypt the data sent to your Amazon S3 bucket. You specify what you want to detect by using the ConnectedHome option in settings, and selecting one of the following: PERSON, PET, PACKAGE, ALL You can also specify where in the frame you want Amazon Rekognition to monitor with RegionsOfInterest. When you run the StartStreamProcessor operation on a label detection stream processor, you input start and stop information to determine the length of the processing time.

Use Name to assign an identifier for the stream processor. You use Name to manage the stream processor. For example, you can start processing the source video by calling StartStreamProcessor with the Name field.

This operation applies only to Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels.

Detects custom labels in a supplied image by using an Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels model.

You specify which version of a model version to use by using the ProjectVersionArn input parameter.

You pass the input image as base64-encoded image bytes or as a reference to an image in an Amazon S3 bucket. If you use the AWS CLI to call Amazon Rekognition operations, passing image bytes is not supported. The image must be either a PNG or JPEG formatted file.

For each object that the model version detects on an image, the API returns a (CustomLabel) object in an array (CustomLabels). Each CustomLabel object provides the label name (Name), the level of confidence that the image contains the object (Confidence), and object location information, if it exists, for the label on the image (Geometry). Note that for the DetectCustomLabelsLabels operation, Polygons are not returned in the Geometry section of the response.

To filter labels that are returned, specify a value for MinConfidence. DetectCustomLabelsLabels only returns labels with a confidence that’s higher than the specified value. The value of MinConfidence maps to the assumed threshold values created during training. For more information, see Assumed threshold in the Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels Developer Guide. Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels metrics expresses an assumed threshold as a floating point value between 0-1. The range of MinConfidence normalizes the threshold value to a percentage value (0-100). Confidence responses from DetectCustomLabels are also returned as a percentage. You can use MinConfidence to change the precision and recall or your model. For more information, see Analyzing an image in the Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels Developer Guide.

If you don’t specify a value for MinConfidence, DetectCustomLabels returns labels based on the assumed threshold of each label.

This is a stateless API operation. That is, the operation does not persist any data.

Detects faces within an image that is provided as input.

DetectFaces detects the 100 largest faces in the image. For each face detected, the operation returns face details. These details include a bounding box of the face, a confidence value (that the bounding box contains a face), and a fixed set of attributes such as facial landmarks (for example, coordinates of eye and mouth), pose, presence of facial occlusion, and so on.

The face-detection algorithm is most effective on frontal faces. For non-frontal or obscured faces, the algorithm might not detect the faces or might detect faces with lower confidence.

You pass the input image either as base64-encoded image bytes or as a reference to an image in an Amazon S3 bucket. If you use the AWS CLI to call Amazon Rekognition operations, passing image bytes is not supported. The image must be either a PNG or JPEG formatted file.

Optional Parameters

You can specify one or both of the GENERAL_LABELS and IMAGE_PROPERTIES feature types when calling the DetectLabels API. Including GENERAL_LABELS will ensure the response includes the labels detected in the input image, while including IMAGE_PROPERTIES will ensure the response includes information about the image quality and color.

When using GENERAL_LABELS and/or IMAGE_PROPERTIES you can provide filtering criteria to the Settings parameter. You can filter with sets of individual labels or with label categories. You can specify inclusive filters, exclusive filters, or a combination of inclusive and exclusive filters. For more information on filtering see Detecting Labels in an Image.

When getting labels, you can specify MinConfidence to control the confidence threshold for the labels returned. The default is 55%. You can also add the MaxLabels parameter to limit the number of labels returned. The default and upper limit is 1000 labels. These arguments are only valid when supplying GENERAL_LABELS as a feature type.

Response Elements

For each object, scene, and concept the API returns one or more labels. The API returns the following types of information about labels:

• Name - The name of the detected label.

• Confidence - The level of confidence in the label assigned to a detected object.

• Parents - The ancestor labels for a detected label. DetectLabels returns a hierarchical taxonomy of detected labels. For example, a detected car might be assigned the label car. The label car has two parent labels: Vehicle (its parent) and Transportation (its grandparent). The response includes the all ancestors for a label, where every ancestor is a unique label. In the previous example, Car, Vehicle, and Transportation are returned as unique labels in the response.

• Aliases - Possible Aliases for the label.

• Categories - The label categories that the detected label belongs to.

• BoundingBox — Bounding boxes are described for all instances of detected common object labels, returned in an array of Instance objects. An Instance object contains a BoundingBox object, describing the location of the label on the input image. It also includes the confidence for the accuracy of the detected bounding box.

The API returns the following information regarding the image, as part of the ImageProperties structure:

• Quality - Information about the Sharpness, Brightness, and Contrast of the input image, scored between 0 to 100. Image quality is returned for the entire image, as well as the background and the foreground.

• Dominant Color - An array of the dominant colors in the image.

• Foreground - Information about the sharpness, brightness, and dominant colors of the input image’s foreground.

• Background - Information about the sharpness, brightness, and dominant colors of the input image’s background.

The list of returned labels will include at least one label for every detected object, along with information about that label. In the following example, suppose the input image has a lighthouse, the sea, and a rock. The response includes all three labels, one for each object, as well as the confidence in the label:

{Name: lighthouse, Confidence: 98.4629}

{Name: rock,Confidence: 79.2097}

{Name: sea,Confidence: 75.061}

The list of labels can include multiple labels for the same object. For example, if the input image shows a flower (for example, a tulip), the operation might return the following three labels.

{Name: flower,Confidence: 99.0562}

{Name: plant,Confidence: 99.0562}

{Name: tulip,Confidence: 99.0562}

In this example, the detection algorithm more precisely identifies the flower as a tulip.

Detects Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) worn by people detected in an image. Amazon Rekognition can detect the following types of PPE.

• Face cover

• Hand cover

• Head cover

You pass the input image as base64-encoded image bytes or as a reference to an image in an Amazon S3 bucket. The image must be either a PNG or JPG formatted file.

DetectProtectiveEquipment detects PPE worn by up to 15 persons detected in an image.

For each person detected in the image the API returns an array of body parts (face, head, left-hand, right-hand). For each body part, an array of detected items of PPE is returned, including an indicator of whether or not the PPE covers the body part. The API returns the confidence it has in each detection (person, PPE, body part and body part coverage). It also returns a bounding box (BoundingBox) for each detected person and each detected item of PPE.

You can optionally request a summary of detected PPE items with the SummarizationAttributes input parameter. The summary provides the following information.

• The persons detected as wearing all of the types of PPE that you specify.

• The persons detected as not wearing all of the types PPE that you specify.

• The persons detected where PPE adornment could not be determined.

This is a stateless API operation. That is, the operation does not persist any data.

Detects text in the input image and converts it into machine-readable text.

Pass the input image as base64-encoded image bytes or as a reference to an image in an Amazon S3 bucket. If you use the AWS CLI to call Amazon Rekognition operations, you must pass it as a reference to an image in an Amazon S3 bucket. For the AWS CLI, passing image bytes is not supported. The image must be either a .png or .jpeg formatted file.

The DetectText operation returns text in an array of TextDetection elements, TextDetections. Each TextDetection element provides information about a single word or line of text that was detected in the image.

A word is one or more script characters that are not separated by spaces. DetectText can detect up to 100 words in an image.

A line is a string of equally spaced words. A line isn’t necessarily a complete sentence. For example, a driver’s license number is detected as a line. A line ends when there is no aligned text after it. Also, a line ends when there is a large gap between words, relative to the length of the words. This means, depending on the gap between words, Amazon Rekognition may detect multiple lines in text aligned in the same direction. Periods don’t represent the end of a line. If a sentence spans multiple lines, the DetectText operation returns multiple lines.

To determine whether a TextDetection element is a line of text or a word, use the TextDetection object Type field.

To be detected, text must be within +/- 90 degrees orientation of the horizontal axis.
