Creating a project

Focus mode
Creating a project - Amazon Rekognition

With the CreateProject operation you can create a project that will hold an adapter for Rekognition’s label detection operations. A project is a group of resources and in the case of label detection operations like DetectModerationLabels, a project allows you to store adapters that you can use to customize the base Rekognition model. When invoking CreateProject, you provide the name of the project you want to create to the ProjectName argument.

To create a project with the AWS console:

  • Sign into the Rekognition Console

  • Click on Custom Moderation

  • Choose Create Project

  • Select either Create a New Project or Add to an existing project

  • Add a Project name

  • Add an Adapter name

  • Add a description if desired

  • Choose how you want to import your training images: Manifest file, from S3 bucket, or from your computer

  • Choose if you want to Autosplit your training data or import a manifest file

  • Select whether or not you want the project to automatically update

  • Click Create project
