startSegmentDetection

Starts asynchronous detection of segment detection in a stored video.

Amazon Rekognition Video can detect segments in a video stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Use Video to specify the bucket name and the filename of the video. StartSegmentDetection returns a job identifier (JobId) which you use to get the results of the operation. When segment detection is finished, Amazon Rekognition Video publishes a completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service topic that you specify in NotificationChannel.

You can use the Filters (StartSegmentDetectionFilters) input parameter to specify the minimum detection confidence returned in the response. Within Filters, use ShotFilter (StartShotDetectionFilter) to filter detected shots. Use TechnicalCueFilter (StartTechnicalCueDetectionFilter) to filter technical cues.

To get the results of the segment detection operation, first check that the status value published to the Amazon SNS topic is SUCCEEDED. if so, call GetSegmentDetection and pass the job identifier (JobId) from the initial call to StartSegmentDetection.
