Amazon Rekognition

Amazon Rekognition is a fully managed computer vision service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that enables developers to analyze images and videos using deep learning technology. It allows applications to identify objects, people, text, scenes, and activities, as well as perform facial analysis and content moderation, without managing any machine learning infrastructure.

Features of Amazon Rekognition:

• Detects and labels objects, scenes, and activities in images and videos.
• Performs facial detection and analysis including emotions, age range, and landmarks.
• Supports facial comparison and face search for identity verification use cases.
• Extracts printed and handwritten text from images (OCR).
• Provides content moderation to detect unsafe or inappropriate content.
• Fully serverless and scalable with AWS-managed infrastructure.
• Integrates seamlessly with AWS services such as S3, Lambda, and IAM.
