We have studied deep learning algorithms and how to implement them using SageMaker in Chapter 7, Implementing Deep Learning Algorithms, and Chapter 9, Image Classification and Detection with SageMaker. You must have realized that training a good Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) takes a lot of expertise and resources. Moreover, it also requires a large number of labeled images with objects. Amazon has an out-of-box solution for image recognition, called Amazon Rekognition, that offers various tools for image recognition using pretrained image recognition models.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Introducing Amazon Rekognition
- Implementing object and scene detection
- Implementing facial analysis
