AWS re:Invent 2017: Unlocking Media Workflows Using Amazon Rekognition (MCL314)

Companies can have large amounts of image and video content in storage with little or no insight about what they have—effectively sitting on an untapped licensing and advertising goldmine. Learn how media companies are using Amazon Rekognition APIs for object or scene detection, facial analysis, facial recognition, or celebrity recognition to automatically generate metadata for images to provide new licensing and advertising revenue opportunities. Understand how to use Amazon Rekognition APIs to index faces into a collection at high scale, filter frames from a video source for processing, perform face matches that populate a person index in ElasticSearch, and use the Amazon Rekognition celebrity match feature to optimize the process for faster time to market and more accurate results.
