Nameface_detections
TypeResource
Idaws.rekognition.face_detections

Fields

The following fields are returned by SELECT queries:

NameDatatypeDescription
facesarrayAn array of faces detected in the video. Each element contains a detected face's details and the time, in milliseconds from the start of the video, the face was detected.
job_idstringJob identifier for the face detection operation for which you want to obtain results. The job identifer is returned by an initial call to StartFaceDetection. (pattern: <code>^[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+$</code>)
job_statusstringThe current status of the face detection job. (IN_PROGRESS, SUCCEEDED, FAILED)
job_tagstringA job identifier specified in the call to StartFaceDetection and returned in the job completion notification sent to your Amazon Simple Notification Service topic. (pattern: <code>[a-zA-Z0-9_.-:+=/]+</code>)
next_tokenstringIf the response is truncated, Amazon Rekognition returns this token that you can use in the subsequent request to retrieve the next set of faces.
status_messagestringIf the job fails, StatusMessage provides a descriptive error message.
videoobjectVideo file stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Amazon Rekognition video start operations such as StartLabelDetection use Video to specify a video for analysis. The supported file formats are .mp4, .mov and .avi.
video_metadataobjectInformation about a video that Amazon Rekognition Video analyzed. Videometadata is returned in every page of paginated responses from a Amazon Rekognition video operation.

Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

NameAccessible byRequired ParamsOptional ParamsDescription
get_face_detectionselectregionGets face detection results for a Amazon Rekognition Video analysis started by StartFaceDetection. Face detection with Amazon Rekognition Video is an asynchronous operation. You start face detection by calling StartFaceDetection which returns a job identifier (JobId). When the face detection operation finishes, Amazon Rekognition Video publishes a completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service topic registered in the initial call to StartFaceDetection. To get the results of the face detection operation, first check that the status value published to the Amazon SNS topic is SUCCEEDED. If so, call GetFaceDetection and pass the job identifier (JobId) from the initial call to StartFaceDetection. GetFaceDetection returns an array of detected faces (Faces) sorted by the time the faces were detected. Use MaxResults parameter to limit the number of labels returned. If there are more results than specified in MaxResults, the value of NextToken in the operation response contains a pagination token for getting the next set of results. To get the next page of results, call GetFaceDetection and populate the NextToken request parameter with the token value returned from the previous call to GetFaceDetection. Note that for the GetFaceDetection operation, the returned values for FaceOccluded and EyeDirection will always be "null".

Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.
