What does this Amazon Rekognition error mean: Unable to get image metadata from S3. Check object key, region and/or access permissions.
For me, this meant that I was calling
DetectFaces(Image => { S3Object => { Bucket => “bucket_name”, Name => “path_to_image” } }
with bucket_name belonging to an S3 bucket in a different region than the Rekognition endpoint that I was using. It turns out, Rekognition can only access buckets in its region. Copying the data to us-west-2 resolved the problem.
I have a same problem 🙁
jescobar@sghmobile:~/.aws$ aws rekognition compare-faces –source-image ‘{“S3Object”:{“Bucket”:”bucket-name”,”Name”:”agu1.jpg”}}’ –target-image ‘{“S3Object”:{“Bucket”:”bucket-name”,”Name”:”agu2.jpg”}}’
An error occurred (InvalidS3ObjectException) when calling the CompareFaces operation: Unable to get object metadata from S3. Check object key, region and/or access permissions.
