Recognizing celebrities in a stored video - Amazon Rekognition

Recognizing celebrities in a stored video

Amazon Rekognition Video celebrity recognition in stored videos is an asynchronous operation. To recognize celebrities in a stored video, use StartCelebrityRecognition to start video analysis. Amazon Rekognition Video publishes the completion status of the video analysis to an Amazon Simple Notification Service topic. If the video analysis is succesful, call GetCelebrityRecognition. to get the analysis results. For more information about starting video analysis and getting the results, see Calling Amazon Rekognition Video operations.

This procedure expands on the code in Analyzing a video stored in an Amazon S3 bucket with Java or Python (SDK), which uses an Amazon SQS queue to get the completion status of a video analysis request. To run this procedure, you need a video file that contains one or more celebrity faces.

To detect celebrities in a video stored in an Amazon S3 bucket (SDK)
  1. Perform Analyzing a video stored in an Amazon S3 bucket with Java or Python (SDK).

  2. Add the following code to the class VideoDetect that you created in step 1.

    In the function main, replace the line:

    with:

    StartCelebrityDetection(bucket, video); if (GetSQSMessageSuccess()==true) GetCelebrityDetectionResults();

    Node.JS

    In the following Node.Js code example, replace the value of bucket with the name of the S3 bucket containing your video and the value of videoName with the name of the video file. You'll also need to replace the value of roleArn with the Arn associated with your IAM service role. Finally, replace the value of region with the name of the operating region associated with your account. Replace the value of profile_name in the line that creates the Rekognition session with the name of your developer profile.

    CLI

    Run the following AWS CLI command to start detecting celebrities in a video.

    aws rekognition start-celebrity-recognition --video "{"S3Object":{"Bucket":"bucket-name","Name":"video-name"}}" \ --notification-channel "{"SNSTopicArn":"topic-arn","RoleArn":"role-arn"}" \ --region region-name --profile profile-name

    Update the following values:

    • Change bucket-name and video-name to the Amazon S3 bucket name and file name that you specified in step 2.

    • Change region-name to the AWS region that you're using.

    • Replace the value of profile-name with the name of your developer profile.

    • Change topic-ARN to the ARN of the Amazon SNS topic you created in step 3 of Configuring Amazon Rekognition Video.

    • Change role-ARN to the ARN of the IAM service role you created in step 7 of Configuring Amazon Rekognition Video.

    If you are accessing the CLI on a Windows device, use double quotes instead of single quotes and escape the inner double quotes by backslash (i.e. \) to address any parser errors you may encounter. For an example, see below:

    aws rekognition start-celebrity-recognition --video "{\"S3Object\":{\"Bucket\":\"bucket-name\",\"Name\":\"video-name\"}}" \ --notification-channel "{\"SNSTopicArn\":\"topic-arn\",\"RoleArn\":\"role-arn\"}" \ --region region-name --profile profile-name

    After running the proceeding code example, copy down the returned jobID and provide it to the following GetCelebrityRecognition command below to get your results, replacing job-id-number with the jobID you previously received:

    aws rekognition get-celebrity-recognition --job-id job-id-number --profile profile-name
    Note

    If you've already run a video example other than Analyzing a video stored in an Amazon S3 bucket with Java or Python (SDK), the code to replace might be different.

  3. Run the code. Information about the celebrities recognized in the video is shown.

GetCelebrityRecognition operation response

The following is an example JSON response. The response includes the following:

  • Recognized celebritiesCelebrities is an array of celebrities and the times that they are recognized in a video. A CelebrityRecognition object exists for each time the celebrity is recognized in the video. Each CelebrityRecognition contains information about a recognized celebrity (CelebrityDetail) and the time (Timestamp) the celebrity was recognized in the video. Timestamp is measured in milliseconds from the start of the video.

  • CelebrityDetail – Contains information about a recognized celebrity. It includes the celebrity name (Name), identifier (ID), the celebrity's known gender(KnownGender), and a list of URLs pointing to related content (Urls). It also includes the confidence level that Amazon Rekognition Video has in the accuracy of the recognition, and details about the celebrity's face, FaceDetail. If you need to get the related content later, you can use ID with getCelebrityInfo.

  • VideoMetadata – Information about the video that was analyzed.
