Amazon Rekognition Basics

Amazon Rekognition is a deep learning-based visual analysis service from AWS that allows you to perform image analysis on pictures and videos using machine learning. It is built on the same scalable infrastructure as AWS itself and uses deep learning technology to be able to analyze billions of images daily if required. It is also being updated constantly by Amazon and is learning new labels and features.

Some of the use cases for Amazon Rekognition are as follows:

• Searching across a library of image content using text keywords.
• Confirming user identities by comparing live images with reference ones.
• Analyzing trends based on public images, including the sentiments and emotions of the people in the images.

  your purposes.
