associate_faces#

Rekognition.Client.associate_faces(**kwargs)#

Associates one or more faces with an existing UserID. Takes an array of FaceIds. Each FaceId that are present in the FaceIds list is associated with the provided UserID. The maximum number of total FaceIds per UserID is 100.

The UserMatchThreshold parameter specifies the minimum user match confidence required for the face to be associated with a UserID that has at least one FaceID already associated. This ensures that the FaceIds are associated with the right UserID. The value ranges from 0-100 and default value is 75.

If successful, an array of AssociatedFace objects containing the associated FaceIds is returned. If a given face is already associated with the given UserID, it will be ignored and will not be returned in the response. If a given face is already associated to a different UserID, isn’t found in the collection, doesn’t meet the UserMatchThreshold, or there are already 100 faces associated with the UserID, it will be returned as part of an array of UnsuccessfulFaceAssociations.

The UserStatus reflects the status of an operation which updates a UserID representation with a list of given faces. The UserStatus can be:

  • ACTIVE - All associations or disassociations of FaceID(s) for a UserID are complete.

  • CREATED - A UserID has been created, but has no FaceID(s) associated with it.

  • UPDATING - A UserID is being updated and there are current associations or disassociations of FaceID(s) taking place.

Request Syntax

response = client.associate_faces(
    CollectionId='string',
    UserId='string',
    FaceIds=[
        'string',
    ],
    UserMatchThreshold=...,
    ClientRequestToken='string'
)
Parameters:

  • CollectionId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The ID of an existing collection containing the UserID.

  • UserId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The ID for the existing UserID.

  • FaceIds (list) –

    [REQUIRED]

    An array of FaceIDs to associate with the UserID.

    • (string) –

  • UserMatchThreshold (float) – An optional value specifying the minimum confidence in the UserID match to return. The default value is 75.

  • ClientRequestToken (string) –

    Idempotent token used to identify the request to AssociateFaces. If you use the same token with multiple AssociateFaces requests, the same response is returned. Use ClientRequestToken to prevent the same request from being processed more than once.

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • AssociatedFaces (list) –

      An array of AssociatedFace objects containing FaceIDs that have been successfully associated with the UserID. Returned if the AssociateFaces action is successful.

      • (dict) –

        Provides face metadata for the faces that are associated to a specific UserID.

        • FaceId (string) –

          Unique identifier assigned to the face.

    • UnsuccessfulFaceAssociations (list) –

      An array of UnsuccessfulAssociation objects containing FaceIDs that are not successfully associated along with the reasons. Returned if the AssociateFaces action is successful.

      • (dict) –

        Contains metadata like FaceId, UserID, and Reasons, for a face that was unsuccessfully associated.

        • FaceId (string) –

          A unique identifier assigned to the face.

        • UserId (string) –

          A provided ID for the UserID. Unique within the collection.

        • Confidence (float) –

          Match confidence with the UserID, provides information regarding if a face association was unsuccessful because it didn’t meet UserMatchThreshold.

        • Reasons (list) –

          The reason why the association was unsuccessful.

          • (string) –

    • UserStatus (string) –

      The status of an update made to a UserID. Reflects if the UserID has been updated for every requested change.
