list_faces

list_faces(**kwargs)

Returns metadata for faces in the specified collection. This metadata includes information such as the bounding box coordinates, the confidence (that the bounding box contains a face), and face ID. For an example, see Listing Faces in a Collection in the Amazon Rekognition Developer Guide.

This operation requires permissions to perform the rekognition:ListFaces action.

Request Syntax

response = client.list_faces(
    CollectionId='string',
    NextToken='string',
    MaxResults=123
)
Parameters
  • CollectionId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    ID of the collection from which to list the faces.

  • NextToken (string) -- If the previous response was incomplete (because there is more data to retrieve), Amazon Rekognition returns a pagination token in the response. You can use this pagination token to retrieve the next set of faces.
  • MaxResults (integer) -- Maximum number of faces to return.
Return type

dict

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Faces (list) --

      An array of Face objects.

      • (dict) --

        Describes the face properties such as the bounding box, face ID, image ID of the input image, and external image ID that you assigned.

        • FaceId (string) --

          Unique identifier that Amazon Rekognition assigns to the face.

        • BoundingBox (dict) --

          Bounding box of the face.

          • Width (float) --

            Width of the bounding box as a ratio of the overall image width.

          • Height (float) --

            Height of the bounding box as a ratio of the overall image height.

          • Left (float) --

            Left coordinate of the bounding box as a ratio of overall image width.

          • Top (float) --

            Top coordinate of the bounding box as a ratio of overall image height.

        • ImageId (string) --

          Unique identifier that Amazon Rekognition assigns to the input image.

        • ExternalImageId (string) --

          Identifier that you assign to all the faces in the input image.

        • Confidence (float) --

          Confidence level that the bounding box contains a face (and not a different object such as a tree).

        • IndexFacesModelVersion (string) --

          The version of the face detect and storage model that was used when indexing the face vector.

    • NextToken (string) --

      If the response is truncated, Amazon Rekognition returns this token that you can use in the subsequent request to retrieve the next set of faces.

    • FaceModelVersion (string) --

      Version number of the face detection model associated with the input collection ( CollectionId ).
