Adapter - Amazon Rekognition

This page describes version 2.0.13 of the adapter.

Overview

This adapter uses the Amazon Web Service Rekognition API to provide functionality to compare images or detect objects in an image.

Configuration

All of the Amazon adapters, require a region, accessKey and secretKey. The regions list can be in Amazon's documentation. The accessKey and secretKey are accessed by logging in to your amazon account.

Accessing Secret Key

The secretKey can only be accessed once, directly after the accessKey and secretKey are generated.

For this API, there is an optional configuration property similarityThreshold. When this is specified, the score returned from Amazon must be greater than the similarityThreshold for it to be considered a successful match.

region Region True The Amazon (AWS) region to run the commands on. string us-west-1 1024 1
accessKey Access Key True The Amazon account's Access Key. password 1024 1
secretKey Secret Key True The Amazon account's Secret Key. password 1024 1
roleArn Role ARN False The optional role ARN to assume. string 2048 1
externalId External ID False The external id to pass if assuming a role. password 1024 1
similarityThreshold Similarity Threshold False The similarity threshold that denotes any scores above this threshold are a positive match. integer 50 100 1
