search-users-by-image

Description

Searches for UserIDs using a supplied image. It first detects the largest face in the image, and then searches a specified collection for matching UserIDs.

The operation returns an array of UserIDs that match the face in the supplied image, ordered by similarity score with the highest similarity first. It also returns a bounding box for the face found in the input image.

Information about faces detected in the supplied image, but not used for the search, is returned in an array of UnsearchedFace objects. If no valid face is detected in the image, the response will contain an empty UserMatches list and no SearchedFace object.

Options

--collection-id (string)

The ID of an existing collection containing the UserID.

--image (structure)

Provides the input image either as bytes or an S3 object.

You pass image bytes to an Amazon Rekognition API operation by using the Bytes property. For example, you would use the Bytes property to pass an image loaded from a local file system. Image bytes passed by using the Bytes property must be base64-encoded. Your code may not need to encode image bytes if you are using an AWS SDK to call Amazon Rekognition API operations.

For more information, see Analyzing an Image Loaded from a Local File System in the Amazon Rekognition Developer Guide.

You pass images stored in an S3 bucket to an Amazon Rekognition API operation by using the S3Object property. Images stored in an S3 bucket do not need to be base64-encoded.

The region for the S3 bucket containing the S3 object must match the region you use for Amazon Rekognition operations.

If you use the AWS CLI to call Amazon Rekognition operations, passing image bytes using the Bytes property is not supported. You must first upload the image to an Amazon S3 bucket and then call the operation using the S3Object property.

For Amazon Rekognition to process an S3 object, the user must have permission to access the S3 object. For more information, see How Amazon Rekognition works with IAM 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 to DetectCustomLabels 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"
  }
}

--user-match-threshold (float)

Specifies the minimum confidence in the UserID match to return. Default value is 80.

--max-users (integer)

Maximum number of UserIDs to return.

--quality-filter (string)

A filter that specifies a quality bar for how much filtering is done to identify faces. Filtered faces aren't searched for in the collection. The default value is NONE.

Possible values:

• NONE
• AUTO
• LOW
• MEDIUM
• HIGH

--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.

Global Options

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
