Real Time Image Tracking Save

Real-time image recognition

What is this?

This app will allow you to set a tracker on the types of items you'd like to detect. It will then check for movement, detect the item in the picture, and if the item is on the list of items being tracked, will display the image in an image feed.

To deploy this project

1. Update the Amplify CLI to the latest version

$ npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

2. Clone the repo & install the dependencies

git clone https://github.com/dabit3/real-time-image-tracking.git

cd real-time-image-tracking

npm install

3. Initialize & deploy the Amplify project

amplify init

amplify push

4. Update the IAM policy associated with the Lambda function to have access to Rekognition as well as the S3 bucket (open the AWS console and open the Lambda function to see the associated role)

Function name can be found in amplify/backend/function/rekognitionfunction-<environment-name>

5. Update the environment variables in the Lambda console: BUCKET, APPSYNC_ENDPOINT, and APPSYNC_KEY. All of these values can be found in aws-exports.js

6. Run the project

npm start
