Associating faces to a user

To associate faces (SDK)

1. If you haven't already:

   1. Create or update a user with AmazonRekognitionFullAccess permissions. For more information, see Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create a User.

   2. Install and configure the AWS CLI and the AWS SDKs. For more information, see Step 2: Set up the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs.

2. Use the following examples to call the AssociateFaces operation.

   Java

   This Java code example associates a face with a user.

   import java.util.Arrays;
   import java.util.List;
   
   import com.amazonaws.services.rekognition.AmazonRekognition;
   import com.amazonaws.services.rekognition.AmazonRekognitionClientBuilder;
   import com.amazonaws.services.rekognition.model.AssociateFacesRequest;
   import com.amazonaws.services.rekognition.model.AssociateFacesResult;
   
   
   public class AssociateFaces {
   
       public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   
   
           AmazonRekognition rekognitionClient = AmazonRekognitionClientBuilder.defaultClient();
   
           /* Replace the below configurations to allow you successfully run the example
   
              @collectionId: The collection where user and faces are stored
              @userId: The user which faces will get associated to
              @faceIds: The list of face IDs that will get associated to the given user
              @userMatchThreshold: Minimum User match confidence required for the face to
                                  be associated with a User that has at least one faceID already associated
            */
   
           String collectionId = "MyCollection";
           String userId = "demoUser";
           String faceId1 = "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx";
           String faceId2 = "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx";
           List<String> faceIds = Arrays.asList(faceid1,faceid2);
   
           float userMatchThreshold = 0f;
           System.out.println("Associating faces to the existing user: " +
                   userId);
   
           AssociateFacesRequest request = new AssociateFacesRequest()
                   .withCollectionId(collectionId)
                   .withUserId(userId)
                   .withFaceIds(faceIds)
                   .withUserMatchThreshold(userMatchThreshold);
   
           AssociateFacesResult result = rekognitionClient.associateFaces(request);
   
           System.out.println("Successful face associations: " + result.getAssociatedFaces().size());
           System.out.println("Unsuccessful face associations: " + result.getUnsuccessfulFaceAssociations().size());
       }
   
   }

   AWS CLI

   This AWS CLI command associates a face with a user, using the associate-faces CLI operation.

   aws rekognition associate-faces --user-id user-id --face-ids face-id-1 face-id-2
   --collection-id collection-name 
   --region region-name

   Python

   This Python code example associates a face with a user.
