create_collection(
    collection_id: CollectionId,
    *,
    config_overrides: Optional[RekognitionClientConfig] = None,
    tags: Optional[TagMap] = None,
) -> CreateCollectionResponse

Creates a collection in an AWS Region. You can add faces to the collection using the IndexFaces operation.

For example, you might create collections, one for each of your application users. A user can then index faces using the IndexFaces operation and persist results in a specific collection. Then, a user can search the collection for faces in the user-specific container.

When you create a collection, it is associated with the latest version of the face model version.

Collection names are case-sensitive.

This operation requires permissions to perform the rekognition:CreateCollection action. If you want to tag your collection, you also require permission to perform the rekognition:TagResource operation.

Parameters:

  • collection_id (CollectionId) –

    ID for the collection that you are creating.

  • tags (Optional[TagMap], default: None ) –

    A set of tags (key-value pairs) that you want to attach to the collection.

Raises:

Examples:

To create a collection This operation creates a Rekognition collection for storing image data.
