start_face_search#

Rekognition.Client.start_face_search(**kwargs)#

Starts the asynchronous search for faces in a collection that match the faces of persons detected in a stored video.

The video must be stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Use Video to specify the bucket name and the filename of the video. StartFaceSearch returns a job identifier ( JobId) which you use to get the search results once the search has completed. When searching is finished, Amazon Rekognition Video publishes a completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service topic that you specify in NotificationChannel. To get the search results, first check that the status value published to the Amazon SNS topic is SUCCEEDED. If so, call GetFaceSearch and pass the job identifier ( JobId) from the initial call to StartFaceSearch. For more information, see Searching stored videos for faces.

Request Syntax

response = client.start_face_search(
    Video={
        'S3Object': {
            'Bucket': 'string',
            'Name': 'string',
            'Version': 'string'
        }
    },
    ClientRequestToken='string',
    FaceMatchThreshold=...,
    CollectionId='string',
    NotificationChannel={
        'SNSTopicArn': 'string',
        'RoleArn': 'string'
    },
    JobTag='string'
)

Parameters:

Video (dict) –
[REQUIRED]

The video you want to search. The video must be stored in an Amazon S3 bucket.
- S3Object (dict) –
  
  The Amazon S3 bucket name and file name for the video.
  - Bucket (string) –
    
    Name of the S3 bucket.
  - Name (string) –
    
    S3 object key name.
  - Version (string) –
    
    If the bucket is versioning enabled, you can specify the object version.
ClientRequestToken (string) – Idempotent token used to identify the start request. If you use the same token with multiple StartFaceSearch requests, the same JobId is returned. Use ClientRequestToken to prevent the same job from being accidently started more than once.
FaceMatchThreshold (float) – The minimum confidence in the person match to return. For example, don’t return any matches where confidence in matches is less than 70%. The default value is 80%.
CollectionId (string) –
[REQUIRED]

ID of the collection that contains the faces you want to search for.
NotificationChannel (dict) –
The ARN of the Amazon SNS topic to which you want Amazon Rekognition Video to publish the completion status of the search. The Amazon SNS topic must have a topic name that begins with AmazonRekognition if you are using the AmazonRekognitionServiceRole permissions policy to access the topic.
- SNSTopicArn (string) – [REQUIRED]
  
  The Amazon SNS topic to which Amazon Rekognition posts the completion status.
- RoleArn (string) – [REQUIRED]
  
  The ARN of an IAM role that gives Amazon Rekognition publishing permissions to the Amazon SNS topic.
JobTag (string) – An identifier you specify that’s returned in the completion notification that’s published to your Amazon Simple Notification Service topic. For example, you can use JobTag to group related jobs and identify them in the completion notification.

Return type:

dict
