2020/06/22 - Amazon Rekognition - 2 new api methods
Changes This update adds the ability to detect black frames, end credits, shots, and color bars in stored videos
Gets the segment detection results of a Amazon Rekognition Video analysis started by StartSegmentDetection.
Segment detection with Amazon Rekognition Video is an asynchronous operation. You start segment detection by calling StartSegmentDetection which returns a job identifier ( JobId ). When the segment detection operation finishes, Amazon Rekognition publishes a completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service topic registered in the initial call to StartSegmentDetection . To get the results of the segment detection operation, first check that the status value published to the Amazon SNS topic is SUCCEEDED . if so, call GetSegmentDetection and pass the job identifier ( JobId ) from the initial call of StartSegmentDetection .
GetSegmentDetection returns detected segments in an array ( Segments ) of SegmentDetection objects. Segments is sorted by the segment types specified in the SegmentTypes input parameter of StartSegmentDetection . Each element of the array includes the detected segment, the precentage confidence in the acuracy of the detected segment, the type of the segment, and the frame in which the segment was detected.
Use SelectedSegmentTypes to find out the type of segment detection requested in the call to StartSegmentDetection .
Use the MaxResults parameter to limit the number of segment detections 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 GetSegmentDetection and populate the NextToken request parameter with the token value returned from the previous call to GetSegmentDetection .

AudioMetadata (list) --
An array of objects. There can be multiple audio streams. Each AudioMetadata object contains metadata for a single audio stream. Audio information in an AudioMetadata objects includes the audio codec, the number of audio channels, the duration of the audio stream, and the sample rate. Audio metadata is returned in each page of information returned by GetSegmentDetection .
(dict) --
Metadata information about an audio stream. An array of AudioMetadata objects for the audio streams found in a stored video is returned by GetSegmentDetection.
Codec (string) --
The audio codec used to encode or decode the audio stream.

The duration of the audio stream in milliseconds.
SampleRate (integer) --
The sample rate for the audio stream.
NumberOfChannels (integer) --
The number of audio channels in the segement.
NextToken (string) --
If the previous response was incomplete (because there are more labels to retrieve), Amazon Rekognition Video returns a pagination token in the response. You can use this pagination token to retrieve the next set of text.
Segments (list) --
An array of segments detected in a video.
(dict) --
A technical cue or shot detection segment detected in a video. An array of SegmentDetection objects containing all segments detected in a stored video is returned by GetSegmentDetection.
Type (string) --
The type of the segment. Valid values are TECHNICAL_CUE and SHOT .
StartTimestampMillis (integer) --
The start time of the detected segment in milliseconds from the start of the video.

Starts asynchronous detection of segment detection in a stored video.
Amazon Rekognition Video can detect segments in a video stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Use Video to specify the bucket name and the filename of the video. StartSegmentDetection returns a job identifier ( JobId ) which you use to get the results of the operation. When segment detection is finished, Amazon Rekognition Video publishes a completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service topic that you specify in NotificationChannel .
You can use the Filters ( StartSegmentDetectionFilters ) input parameter to specify the minimum detection confidence returned in the response. Within Filters , use ShotFilter ( StartShotDetectionFilter ) to filter detected shots. Use TechnicalCueFilter ( StartTechnicalCueDetectionFilter ) to filter technical cues.
To get the results of the segment detection operation, first check that the status value published to the Amazon SNS topic is SUCCEEDED . if so, call GetSegmentDetection and pass the job identifier ( JobId ) from the initial call to StartSegmentDetection .
