AmazonRekognition

Overview

This tutorial covers how to create an Amazon Web Services account, how to set up a camera on the raspberry pi, and how to run Amazon's facial Rekognition using a picture taken from the pi. Before we can run facial recognition we must create an AWS user, create a S3 bucket, and upload pictures to this S3 bucket. The final product will be able to calculate the similarity between a picture taken on the pi with various images saved in the AWS bucket.
