# AWS Rekognition

Handles the Image Recognition detection and analysis of elements in a binary payload using the Amazon Web Service Rekognition Service.

The AWS Rekognition Service is described by:

```
accessKey
secretKey
region
bucketName
```

Where the `accessKey` and `secretKey` are used to identify an IAM principal who has sufficient authority to invoke AWS Rekognition within the given `region`. In addition, the IAM principal needs sufficient authorities to read, write and delete an S3 object from the given S3 bucket (identified by `bucketName`) within the same region.

## Configuration

```
{
    "accessKey": "{accessKey}",
    "secretKey": "{secretKey}",
    "region": "{region}",
    "bucketName": "{bucketName}"
}
```

## Example

```
{
    "accessKey": "AKIAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ",
    "secretKey": "PlrNZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ",
    "region": "us-east-1",
    "bucketName": "rekognition-temporary-bucket"
}
```
