Amazon Rekognition is a service that makes it easy to add image analysis to your applications. With Rekognition, you can detect objects, scenes, faces; and identify inappropriate content in images.

Rekognition’s API enables you to quickly add sophisticated deep learning-based visual search and image classification to your applications. With Amazon Rekognition, you only pay for the images you analyze and the face metadata you store. There are no minimum fees and there are no upfront commitments.
