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.

For more information, see Detecting video segments in stored video in the Amazon Rekognition Developer Guide.

Request body

ClientRequestTokenstring

Idempotent token used to identify the start request. If you use the same token with multiple <code>StartSegmentDetection</code> requests, the same <code>JobId</code> is returned. Use <code>ClientRequestToken</code> to prevent the same job from being accidently started more than once.

JobTagstring

An identifier you specify that's returned in the completion notification that's published to your Amazon Simple Notification Service topic. For example, you can use <code>JobTag</code> to group related jobs and identify them in the completion notification.

SegmentTypesSegmentType[] required

An array of segment types to detect in the video. Valid values are TECHNICAL_CUE and SHOT.

Response

Success

JobIdstring

Unique identifier for the segment detection job. The <code>JobId</code> is returned from <code>StartSegmentDetection</code>.
