thumbor_rekognition

Enable thumbor to use AWS rekognition to run face detection

Build Status Coverage Status PyPI version

thumbor is a smart imaging service. It enables on-demand crop, resizing and flipping of images. It also features a smart detection of important points in the image for better cropping and resizing, using opencv face detection algorithms.

AWS Rekognition can quickly detect faces in image using sophisticated deep learning-based visual search and image classification.

thumbor_rekognition helps to use AWS Rekognition service to do face detection in thumbor easily.

Installation

pip install thumbor_rekognition

Enable detector

Add thumbor_rekognition to your thumbor.conf. Do not include thumbor's out-of-box face detector.

DETECTORS = [
    # Do not use out-of-box face detector
    # 'thumbor.detectors.face_detector',

    # Include thumbor_rekognition
    'thumbor_rekognition',
    'thumbor.detectors.feature_detector',
]

The above configuration tells thumbor that it should run both the facial detection and the feature detection. These are mutually exclusive, meaning that if a face is detected, the feature detector won’t be run.

# AWS region for the Rekognition service
REKOGNITION_REGION = 'us-west-2'
