Detect people and objects in a video with Amazon Rekognition using an AWS SDK - Amazon Simple Storage Service

The following code examples show how to detect people and objects in a video with Amazon Rekognition.

Java
SDK for Java 2.x

Shows how to use Amazon Rekognition Java API to create an app to detect faces and objects in videos located in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. The app sends the admin an email notification with the results using Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES).

For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on GitHub.

Services used in this example

  • Amazon Rekognition

  • Amazon S3

  • Amazon SES

  • Amazon SNS

  • Amazon SQS

Python
SDK for Python (Boto3)

Use Amazon Rekognition to detect faces, objects, and people in videos by starting asynchronous detection jobs. This example also configures Amazon Rekognition to notify an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic when jobs complete and subscribes an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue to the topic. When the queue receives a message about a job, the job is retrieved and the results are output.
