Limitations

the performance of the model may be limited by factors such as the quality and quantity of training data, the complexity of the image content, or the accuracy of the annotations. Additionally, Amazon Rekognition may have detection issues with black and white images and elderly people.

Other limitations include:

  • May struggle with small or partially obscured objects

  • Performance can vary based on image quality and lighting

  • Limited ability to understand context or relationships between objects

  • Cannot identify specific individuals (separate face recognition API for that)

  • May have biases in detection rates across different demographics
