In a significant update to our services, we are excited to introduce new features in Amazon Rekognition, focusing on celebrity recognition. This enhancement comes after the launch of Amazon Rekognition at re:Invent, which initially showcased image detection and recognition powered by deep learning technology.
With this update, Rekognition is now capable of identifying a vast array of notable figures across various domains such as politics, sports, entertainment, business, and media. The comprehensive database is continually updated and contains information on hundreds of thousands of celebrities from around the globe.
Utilizing the New Capability
To utilize this new capability, developers can invoke the RecognizeCelebrities function. This function not only provides facial landmarks and bounding box details from the existing DetectFaces function but also delivers specific information about recognized celebrities. For example, the output might include data such as:
{
"Id": "4Gh1xy7",
"MatchConfidence": 95,
"Name": "Jessica Lee",
"Urls": [ "www.imdb.com/name/nm1234567" ]
}
These URLs link to further information about the celebrities, currently directing users to IMDB content, with potential plans to expand to additional sources in the future.
Hands-On Experience
The AWS Management Console offers a Celebrity Recognition Demo that allows users to explore this new feature hands-on. If you have an archive of images, you can now categorize them by celebrity, or combine celebrity recognition with object detection to create diverse search tools. For users with images stored in S3, processing can be done directly in place.
We believe that this innovative feature will inspire a myriad of creative applications. If you’d like to share your ideas, feel free to leave a comment.
