Processing images in bulk

Note

Streaming Video and Bulk Image Analysis is no longer available to new customers. For more information, see Amazon Rekognition feature availability changes.

This change does not impact the availability of other Amazon Rekognition features.

You can start a new bulk analysis job by submitting a manifest file and calling the StartMediaAnalysisJob operation. The input manifest file contains references to images in an Amazon S3 bucket and it is formatted as follows:

{"source-ref": "s3://foo/bar/1.jpg"}

To create a bulk analysis job (CLI)

  1. If you haven't already:

    1. Create or update a user with AmazonRekognitionFullAccess and AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess permissions. For more information, see Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create a User.

    2. Install and configure the AWS CLI and the AWS SDKs. For more information, see Step 2: Set up the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs.

  2. Upload images to your S3 bucket.

    For instructions, see Uploading Objects into Amazon S3 in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.

  3. Use the following commands to create and retrieve bulk analysis jobs.

CLI

Use the following command to call the StartMediaAnalysisJob operation for analysis with the DetectModerationLabels operation: 

# Requests
# Starting DetectModerationLabels job with default settings
aws rekognition start-media-analysis-job \
--operations-config "DetectModerationLabels={MinConfidence='1'}" \
--input "S3Object={Bucket=amzn-s3-demo-source-bucket,Name=my-input.jsonl}" \
--output-config "S3Bucket=amzn-s3-demo-destination-bucket;,S3KeyPrefix=my-results"

You can get information about a given job, such as the Amazon S3 path of the bucket where results and summary files are stored, by using the GetMediaAnalysisJob operation. You provide it with a job ID returned by StartMediaAnalysisJob or ListMediaAnalysisJob. Details about individual jobs are only retained for one year.

# Request
aws rekognition get-media-analysis-job \
--job-id customer-job-id

You can list all of your bulk analyses by using the ListMediaAnalysisJobs job operation, which returns pages of jobs. With the max-results argument, you can specify the maximum number of jobs to return per page, limited to the value of max-results. A maximum of 100 results are returned per page. Details about individual jobs are only retained for one year.

# Request
# Specify number of jobs to return per page, limited to max-results.
aws rekognition list-media-analysis-jobs --max-results 1
