get-person-tracking¶

Description¶

Gets the path tracking results of a Amazon Rekognition Video analysis started by StartPersonTracking .

The person path tracking operation is started by a call to StartPersonTracking which returns a job identifier (JobId ). When the operation finishes, Amazon Rekognition Video publishes a completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service topic registered in the initial call to StartPersonTracking .

To get the results of the person path tracking operation, first check that the status value published to the Amazon SNS topic is SUCCEEDED . If so, call GetPersonTracking and pass the job identifier (JobId ) from the initial call to StartPersonTracking .

GetPersonTracking returns an array, Persons , of tracked persons and the time(s) their paths were tracked in the video.

Note

GetPersonTracking only returns the default facial attributes (BoundingBox , Confidence , Landmarks , Pose , and Quality ). The other facial attributes listed in the Face object of the following response syntax are not returned.

For more information, see FaceDetail in the Amazon Rekognition Developer Guide.

By default, the array is sorted by the time(s) a person’s path is tracked in the video. You can sort by tracked persons by specifying INDEX for the SortBy input parameter.

Use the MaxResults parameter to limit the number of items returned. If there are more results than specified in MaxResults , the value of NextToken in the operation response contains a pagination token for getting the next set of results. To get the next page of results, call GetPersonTracking and populate the NextToken request parameter with the token value returned from the previous call to GetPersonTracking .

Synopsis¶

  get-person-tracking
--job-id <value>
[--max-results <value>]
[--next-token <value>]
[--sort-by <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options¶

--job-id (string)

The identifier for a job that tracks persons in a video. You get the JobId from a call to StartPersonTracking .

--max-results (integer)

Maximum number of results to return per paginated call. The largest value you can specify is 1000. If you specify a value greater than 1000, a maximum of 1000 results is returned. The default value is 1000.

--next-token (string)

If the previous response was incomplete (because there are more persons to retrieve), Amazon Rekognition Video returns a pagination token in the response. You can use this pagination token to retrieve the next set of persons.

--sort-by (string)

Sort to use for elements in the Persons array. Use TIMESTAMP to sort array elements by the time persons are detected. Use INDEX to sort by the tracked persons. If you sort by INDEX , the array elements for each person are sorted by detection confidence. The default sort is by TIMESTAMP .

Possible values:

INDEX

TIMESTAMP

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To get the results of a people pathing operation

The following get-person-tracking command displays the results of a people pathing operation that you started previously by calling start-person-tracking.

aws rekognition get-person-tracking  \
    --job-id 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
