There are more AWS SDK examples available in the AWS Doc SDK Examples GitHub repo.
Code examples for Amazon Rekognition using AWS SDKs
The following code examples show you how to use Amazon Rekognition with an AWS software development kit (SDK).
Basics are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.
Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions
show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.
Scenarios are code examples that show you how to accomplish specific tasks by
calling multiple functions within a service or combined with other AWS services.
Get started
The following code example shows how to get started using Amazon Rekognition.
- C++

Code for the CMakeLists.txt CMake file.
# Set the minimum required version of CMake for this project.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)
# Set the AWS service components used by this project.
set(SERVICE_COMPONENTS rekognition)
