/AWS1/CL_REK=>DETECTCUSTOMLABELS()

About DetectCustomLabels

This operation applies only to Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels.

Detects custom labels in a supplied image by using an Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels model.

You specify which version of a model version to use by using the ProjectVersionArn input parameter.

You pass the input image as base64-encoded image bytes or as a reference to an image in an Amazon S3 bucket. If you use the AWS CLI to call Amazon Rekognition operations, passing image bytes is not supported. The image must be either a PNG or JPEG formatted file.

For each object that the model version detects on an image, the API returns a (CustomLabel) object in an array (CustomLabels). Each CustomLabel object provides the label name (Name), the level of confidence that the image contains the object (Confidence), and object location information, if it exists, for the label on the image (Geometry). Note that for the DetectCustomLabelsLabels operation, Polygons are not returned in the Geometry section of the response.

To filter labels that are returned, specify a value for MinConfidence. DetectCustomLabelsLabels only returns labels with a confidence that's higher than the specified value. The value of MinConfidence maps to the assumed threshold values created during training. For more information, see Assumed threshold in the Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels Developer Guide. Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels metrics expresses an assumed threshold as a floating point value between 0-1. The range of MinConfidence normalizes the threshold value to a percentage value (0-100). Confidence responses from DetectCustomLabels are also returned as a percentage. You can use MinConfidence to change the precision and recall or your model. For more information, see Analyzing an image in the Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels Developer Guide.

If you don't specify a value for MinConfidence, DetectCustomLabels returns labels based on the assumed threshold of each label.

This is a stateless API operation. That is, the operation does not persist any data.

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

Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

IV_PROJECTVERSIONARN TYPE /AWS1/REKPROJECTVERSIONARN /AWS1/REKPROJECTVERSIONARN

The ARN of the model version that you want to use. Only models associated with Custom Labels projects accepted by the operation. If a provided ARN refers to a model version associated with a project for a different feature type, then an InvalidParameterException is returned.

IO_IMAGE TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_REKIMAGE /AWS1/CL_REKIMAGE

Image

Optional arguments:

IV_MAXRESULTS TYPE /AWS1/REKUINTEGER /AWS1/REKUINTEGER

Maximum number of results you want the service to return in the response. The service returns the specified number of highest confidence labels ranked from highest confidence to lowest.

IV_MINCONFIDENCE TYPE /AWS1/RT_FLOAT_AS_STRING /AWS1/RT_FLOAT_AS_STRING

Specifies the minimum confidence level for the labels to return. DetectCustomLabels doesn't return any labels with a confidence value that's lower than this specified value. If you specify a value of 0, DetectCustomLabels returns all labels, regardless of the assumed threshold applied to each label. If you don't specify a value for MinConfidence, DetectCustomLabels returns labels based on the assumed threshold of each label.
