Amazon Rekognition Video official document provides a sample code to detect human face in a video Amazon Rekognition Video. But I needed a little effort to draw boundary box from face detection result. So, I’ll share my sample code. Result should be like the top GIF image.

My code (official document sample code) requires an IAM role having permissions for several services, so please check the official document and create such IAM role.

Following code skips some parts from the official document, so please see my GitHub repository if you want to see the complete code.
