AWS CLI version 2, the latest major version of AWS CLI, is now stable and recommended for general use. To view this page for the AWS CLI version 2, click here. For more information see the AWS CLI version 2 installation instructions and migration guide.
[ aws . rekognition ]
Returns an array of celebrities recognized in the input image. For more information, see Recognizing celebrities in the Amazon Rekognition Developer Guide.
RecognizeCelebrities
returns the 64 largest faces in the image. It lists the recognized celebrities in theCelebrityFaces
array and any unrecognized faces in theUnrecognizedFaces
array.RecognizeCelebrities
doesn't return celebrities whose faces aren't among the largest 64 faces in the image.
For each celebrity recognized, RecognizeCelebrities
returns a Celebrity
object. The Celebrity
object contains the celebrity name, ID, URL links to additional information, match confidence, and a ComparedFace
object that you can use to locate the celebrity's face on the image.
Amazon Rekognition doesn't retain information about which images a celebrity has been recognized in. Your application must store this information and use the Celebrity
ID property as a unique identifier for the celebrity. If you don't store the celebrity name or additional information URLs returned by RecognizeCelebrities
, you will need the ID to identify the celebrity in a call to the GetCelebrityInfo operation.
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.
For an example, see Recognizing celebrities in an image in the Amazon Rekognition Developer Guide.
This operation requires permissions to perform the rekognition:RecognizeCelebrities
operation.

--image
(structure)
The input image as base64-encoded bytes or an S3 object. If you use the AWS CLI to call Amazon Rekognition operations, passing base64-encoded image bytes is not supported.
If you are using an AWS SDK to call Amazon Rekognition, you might not need to base64-encode image bytes passed using the
Bytes
field. For more information, see Images in the Amazon Rekognition developer guide.To specify a local file use
--image-bytes
instead.Bytes -> (blob)
Blob of image bytes up to 5 MBs. Note that the maximum image size you can pass toDetectCustomLabels
is 4MB.S3Object -> (structure)
Identifies an S3 object as the image source.
Bucket -> (string)
Name of the S3 bucket.Name -> (string)
S3 object key name.Version -> (string)
If the bucket is versioning enabled, you can specify the object version.
Shorthand Syntax:
Bytes=blob,S3Object={Bucket=string,Name=string,Version=string}
JSON Syntax:
{
"Bytes": blob,
"S3Object": {
"Bucket": "string",
"Name": "string",
"Version": "string"
}
}
--image-bytes
(blob)
The content of the image to be uploaded. To specify the content of a local file use the fileb:// prefix. Example: fileb://image.png
--cli-input-json
(string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--debug
(boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)
Override command's default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
(boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate
(boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output
(string)
The formatting style for command output.
--query
(string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile
(string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region
(string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version
(string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color
(string)
Turn on/off color output.
--no-sign-request
(boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle
(string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

OrientationCorrection -> (string)
Note
Support for estimating image orientation using the the OrientationCorrection field has ceased as of August 2021. Any returned values for this field included in an API response will always be NULL.The orientation of the input image (counterclockwise direction). If your application displays the image, you can use this value to correct the orientation. The bounding box coordinates returned in
CelebrityFaces
andUnrecognizedFaces
represent face locations before the image orientation is corrected.Note
If the input image is in .jpeg format, it might contain exchangeable image (Exif) metadata that includes the image's orientation. If so, and the Exif metadata for the input image populates the orientation field, the value ofOrientationCorrection
is null. TheCelebrityFaces
andUnrecognizedFaces
bounding box coordinates represent face locations after Exif metadata is used to correct the image orientation. Images in .png format don't contain Exif metadata.
