Rekognition is one of the AI/machine learning services provided by AWS. This is basically a computer vision-based service, which allow us to do analysis of videos and images without having to write all the algorithms by ourselves. We just need to provide a video or image as input to the Rekognition service and it will identify objects, texts, people, scenes, and activities. It also provides an accurate facial analysis and recognition service.
AWS Rekognition is based on deep learning technology, which we have already discussed in an earlier section of this chapter.
It provides an easy-to-use API/SDK to implement solutions. Rekognition takes data from the S3 storage service to perform the analysis.
The common use cases for which Rekognition is used are as follows:
- Searchable image and video libraries: This allows you to search huge volumes of videos and images...
