Let’s walk through building a facial recognition-based attendance system to demonstrate how Codersarts supports an end-to-end project. This example is designed to resonate with students (for coursework), developers (for POCs), and businesses (for operational use).


Step 1: Setting Up AWS Rekognition


Prerequisites

  • AWS account with access to Rekognition, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB.

  • Basic knowledge of Python (for backend) and JavaScript (for frontend).


Codersarts Support

  • Students: We guide you through AWS account setup, free-tier usage, and IAM configuration.

  • Developers: We optimize your AWS environment for scalability and cost-efficiency.

  • Businesses: We ensure compliance with security standards and enterprise-grade access controls.


Configuration

  1. Create an S3 Bucket:

    • Name: attendance-images.

    • Enable versioning and set permissions for Rekognition access.

  2. Set Up IAM Roles:

    • Create a Lambda role with policies: AmazonRekognitionFullAccess, AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess, AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess.

  3. Enable Rekognition:

    • Operate in a supported region (e.g., us-east-1).



Example: S3 Bucket Policy


{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service": "rekognition.amazonaws.com"
      },
      "Action": "s3:GetObject",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::attendance-images/*"
    }
  ]
}


Step 2: Designing the Application Architecture

The attendance system includes:

  • Frontend: React app for image uploads.

  • Backend: Lambda functions for Rekognition API calls.

  • Storage: S3 for images, DynamoDB for attendance records.

  • API: API Gateway for frontend-backend communication.


Codersarts Support

  • Students: We provide architecture diagrams and explanations for coursework documentation.

  • Developers: We design scalable architectures for POCs and MVPs.

  • Businesses: We integrate with existing systems and ensure high availability.

Step 3: Developing the Application


Backend (AWS Lambda)

Below is a sample Lambda function to process images and interact with Rekognition.

import boto3
import json
import urllib.parse

s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
rekognition_client = boto3.client('rekognition')
dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb')

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    bucket = event['Records'][0]['s3']['bucket']['name']
    key = urllib.parse.unquote_plus(event['Records'][0]['s3']['object']['key'])
    
    response = rekognition_client.compare_faces(
        SourceImage={'S3Object': {'Bucket': bucket, 'Name': key}},
        TargetImage={'S3Object': {'Bucket': bucket, 'Name': 'reference/employee1.jpg'}},
        SimilarityThreshold=90
    )
    
    if response['FaceMatches']:
        employee_id = "EMP001"
        table = dynamodb.Table('AttendanceRecords')
        table.put_item(
            Item={
                'EmployeeID': employee_id,
                'Timestamp': str(context.get_remaining_time_in_millis()),
                'ImageKey': key
            }
        )
        return {
            'statusCode': 200,
            'body': json.dumps({'message': 'Attendance recorded', 'employee_id': employee_id})
        }
    else:
        return {
            'statusCode': 400,
            'body': json.dumps({'message': 'No match found'})
        }

Frontend (React)
