[AWS Rekognition] Python Backend App

[danielkurniadi]

Descriptions

We propose a python + HTML5 application that streams video from user webcam to the AWS Face Recognition API. The Face recognition API itself is one suit with AWS Rekognition.

The application able to:

• stream video from webcam and display them back using web browser (HTML) as GUI
• add user to database as recognised user, mapped to user info/details
• detect a face in video real-time, then annotate their emotion. If face belongs to a recognised user, application will also server their user info/detail to client/ browser

Why not using Javascript directly to call the API?

Most of our contributor are more familiar with Python, hence we let our Python application be the backbone. HTML5 based gui serve to display the result from the processed video through the web browser. Javascript + CSS to prettify.
