Amazon.Rekognition.Model.ComparedFace 90

The AWS Rekognition service enables you to perform a facial comparison between two photos. Using this service is quite straightforward. Simply upload two image files, that you want to compare, to an AWS S3 Bucket. Then, invoke the Compare-REKFace command, similar to the example provided above. Of course, you’ll need to provide your own, globally-unique S3 Bucket name and file names.
