Amazon Rekognition provides a diverse set of APIs useful for performing facial recognition and analysis. In this video, I show you how to use the DetectFaces API with Python and boto3 to identify faces in an image including characteristics such as eye position, emotion, smiling, and more. I show you how to use this API from within an AWS Lambda Function using an image object that is stored in an Amazon S3 Bucket.
