What is Amazon Rekognition?
Blog post from Roboflow
Amazon Rekognition is a computer vision API offered by Amazon that allows users to analyze the content of images by detecting and classifying common objects such as furniture and plants. It provides an easy-to-use solution for incorporating image recognition into applications by returning classifications for known items. However, for identifying objects that are not included in Amazon Rekognition's standard model, users need to develop custom models. Roboflow facilitates this process by enabling users to bring their own datasets, label them, train a model, and set up an API for specific classification and object detection tasks. This approach allows for continuous model improvement over time. The concept is part of a broader effort to democratize computer vision technology and make it accessible across various industries.
