Analyze Video and Extract Data using Amazon Rekognition

[66/100] #100DaysOfCloud Today, I analyzed a sample video and extracted metadata using Amazon Rekognition.

Amazon Rekognition Video is an API that you can use to analyze videos. With Amazon Rekognition Video, you can detect labels, faces, people, celebrities, and adult (suggestive and explicit) content in videos that are stored in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. You can use Amazon Rekognition Video in categories such as media/entertainment and public safety. Previously, scanning videos for objects or people would have taken many hours of error-prone viewing by a human being. Amazon Rekognition Video automates the detection of items and when they occur throughout a video.

As a developer, the automatic metadata from video footage can be used in applications to improve marketing and advertising efforts, create a searchable video library, or set up sports tracking to provide rich analytics for sport games.

You can try do it by yourself by following the steps from the link below: GitHub
