Quickstart - Detect Labels

Overview

The purpose of this guide is to help you create a working sample of the Detect Labels activity. This working sample enables you to quickly verify the connection to your AWS account and get familiar with the activity's input/output datatypes.

By completing the steps in this guide, you'll have an automation sequence that does the following:

1. Establishes a connection to your AWS account and Amazon Rekognition services via the Amazon Scope activity.
2. Detects objects (i.e., labels) in an image and returns an array of label details via the Detect Labels activity.
3. Tests the Amazon Rekognition activities' input/output properties via the For Each and Write Line activities.

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

1. Complete the Amazon Rekognition Setup steps.
2. Create a new automation project.
   1. Open UiPath Studio.
   2. Under New Project, click Process (this opens a New Blank Process window).
   3. Enter a project Name, Location, and Description.
   4. Click Create.
   
   

   

   
   
3. Install the UiPath.Amazon.Scope.Activities and UiPath.Amazon.Rekognition.Activities packages.
   1. In the Design ribbon, click Manage Packages (this opens the Manage Packages window).
   2. Under All Packages, click Go!
   3. In the Search bar, enter Amazon.
   4. Click, install and accept the license for both the UiPath.Amazon.Scope.Activities and UiPath.Amazon.Rekognition.Activities.

Steps

Build Your Project

1. Add the Amazon Scope activity to your project.
2. Add the Detect Labels activity after the Amazon Scope activity.
3. Enter the ImagePath or ImageURL of the image that contains the labels you want to detect.
4. Create and enter a Label[] variable for your Labels property.
   • When creating your variable, select the UiPath.Amazon.Rekognition.Models.Label[] variable type.

Test Your Project

1. To test the Detect Labels activity, add a For Each with a Write Line activity.
2. In the TypeArgument property, select UiPath.Amazon.Rekognition.Models.Label.
3. In the Values property, enter the Labels property Label[] variable you created in step 2 above.
4. In the Text property, enter item.Name+ " : " +item.Confidence.ToString to return a list of all labels detected, along with their confidence level.
5. Click Run and verify the Output window includes the face detail values you entered in the Write Line activity.

You're done!
