create_collection

Rekognition.Client.create_collection(**kwargs)

Creates a collection in an AWS Region. You can add faces to the collection using the IndexFaces operation.

For example, you might create collections, one for each of your application users. A user can then index faces using the IndexFaces operation and persist results in a specific collection. Then, a user can search the collection for faces in the user-specific container.

When you create a collection, it is associated with the latest version of the face model version.

Note

Collection names are case-sensitive.

This operation requires permissions to perform the rekognition:CreateCollection action. If you want to tag your collection, you also require permission to perform the rekognition:TagResource operation.
