Streaming Video, Face Detection, Sample Python Code

Hi,

Please see answers to your questions below.

1. Does Video Streaming only work with Face Recognition?
The primary use case for the product is face recognition in streaming videos

2. I don't have "Index Faces". But, can I still get Face Detection results (Bounding Box, Emotion, Pose, etc). I don't need "Face Similarity" results.
I think you can try either of the following 1) create an empty collection, not index any faces to it, and pass in that collection as part of you settings when calling CreateStreamProcessor 2) alternately, if you created any collection with faces earlier, you can pass in the collection id, and ignore the 'MatchedFaces' from the output

3. Is there any sample code for Python?
4. The sample code is about "Creating & Starting Streaming Video Analysis". What about the next step: "Reading Analysis Results". Is there any sample code?
I don't have any python sample code at hand, will have to get back on that. For reading results, we have a page describing what to expect, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rekognition/latest/dg/streaming-video-kinesis-output.html. The results are pushed to Kinesis data streams, so maybe you can explore reading kinesis data streams using python in general.

Some python reference from boto3

• https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/rekognition.html#Rekognition.Client.create_stream_processor
• https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/rekognition.html#Rekognition.Client.start_stream_processor

Hopefully the above should at least help you get started.

Thanks.

Thank you very much for your time.

Face Recognition returns Bounding Box, Landmark, Pose, and Quality.

What I am looking for most is "Emotion". Is there any way to get Emotion from Face Recognition?

Unfortunately we currently don't support emotion detection for faces in streaming video. It is currently restricted to the face features you mentioned.
