The document outlines a project utilizing Amazon Web Services (AWS) to create a system that detects objects in images using the Amazon Rekognition API and sends the results to a subscribed email. Key services employed include Simple Storage Service (S3) for storage, AWS Lambda for computing, and Simple Notification Service (SNS) for message delivery. The results demonstrate high confidence levels in object detection across various categories such as food, wildlife, and furniture.

3. Objective
• To develop a system using Amazon
Web Services (AWS) to detect objects
in an image file and send the formatted
output to the subscribed email address.

4. Introduction
• This project utilizes the Amazon
Rekognition API which is a software
based on deep learning technology
used for analyzing images and videos
with confidence level.
• The result is then emailed to the
subscribed email address.
• The whole process has been made
possible using multiple AWS services.

5. Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a
subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-
demand cloud computing platforms
and APIs to individuals, companies, and
governments, on a metered pay-as-you-
go basis.

6. Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Today, AWS provides a highly reliable,
scalable, low-cost infrastructure
platform in the cloud that powers
multitude of businesses in 190 countries
around the world.

7. AWS Services Used
• Identity and Access Management
(IAM) Role
– Security, Identity, & Compliance
• Simple Storage Service (S3)
– Storage
• AWS Lambda
– Compute

8. AWS Services Used
• Simple Notification Service (SNS)
– Application Integration
• CloudWatch
– Management & Governance

10. Identity and Access Management
(IAM) ROLE
• An IAM role is an IAM identity that one
can create in their account and has
specific permissions.
• A role is intended to be assumable by
anyone who needs it.
• When you assume a role, it provides
you with temporary security credentials
for your role session.

11. IAM ROLE

12. Simple Notification Service (SNS)
• Web service that coordinates and
manages the delivery or sending of
messages to subscribing endpoints or
clients.
• Two types of clients
– Publishers
– Subscribers

13. Simple Notification Service (SNS)
• We implemented Subscribers client
• Subscribers receive the message or
notification over one of the supported
protocols (that is, Amazon SQS,
HTTP/S, email, SMS, Lambda) when
they are subscribed to the topic.
• We chose the email protocol.

14. Simple Notification Service (SNS)

15. Simple Storage Service (S3)
• S3 is the storage for the internet. One
can use S3 to store and retrieve any
amount of data at any time, from
anywhere on the web.
• One can accomplish these tasks using
the simple and intuitive web interface of
the AWS Management Console.

16. Simple Storage Service (S3)
• Amazon S3 stores data as objects
within buckets.
• Buckets are the containers for objects.
• One can control access to it.
• To store an object in Amazon S3, you
upload the file you want to store to a
bucket.

17. Simple Storage Service (S3)

18. Lambda
• Serverless Computing
– allows you to build and run applications
and services without provisioning or
managing servers.
• Lambda Function
– The code you run on AWS Lambda is
uploaded as a “Lambda function”.

19. Lambda
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) - It helps
you to run and execute your backend
code.
• AWS Lambda supports the code written
in Java, Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby etc.
• We have used Python 2.7.
• Triggering event used – S3 trigger

25. CloudWatch
• Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring
service for AWS cloud resources and
the applications run on AWS.
• The CloudWatch dashboard interface
allows users to create custom graphical
views across their AWS services.
– These can include both real-time data and
historical data up to a two-week maximum.

33. Conclusion
• Object detection has been widely used
for face detection, vehicle detection,
pedestrian counting etc.
• With Amazon Rekognition, one can
identify objects, people, text etc. in
images and videos, as well as detect
any inappropriate content.

34. Conclusion
• Amazon Web Services is the market
leader in IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-
Service) and PaaS (Platform-as-a-
Service) for cloud ecosystems.
• AWS services can be combined to
create a scalable cloud application
without worrying about delays related to
infrastructure provisioning.
