Smart Surveillance
In Chapter 8, Raspberry Pi Image Streaming, we learned how to connect a Raspberry Pi camera module to Raspberry Pi 3, grab a picture or video, and then upload/stream it in real time. In this chapter, we are going to take this logic to the next level. We are going to take a picture when there is an intrusion detected, and then send that image to the Amazon Rekognition platform and compare the image against a set of images.
In this chapter, we are going to cover the following points:
- Understanding AWS Rekognition
- Seeding an AWS Rekognition collection with authorized faces
- Taking pictures from Raspberry Pi 3 upon intrusion and comparing them with the seed faces
