https://console.aws.amazon.com/rekognition gives me a "Please (re)authenticate or return to https://console.aws.amazon.com" error. Anyone else getting this or is it not open yet?

Yeah. Same. Similar thing happened to me when lambda came out. I'm guessing they are still rolling it out to everyone.

Is there an AWS product that is similar to catchoom.com or slyce.it Something that recognizes specific items rather than generic terms?

The closest service provided by Amazon to achieve that I'm aware of is Mechanical Turk (https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome). It's of course a completely different approach, but depending on the problem it might be a viable solution as well.

Pricing (for first million images / month)

Google Cloud Vision $1.50 per 1,000 images[1]

Amazon Rekognition $1.00 per 1,000 images[2]

Interesting that when Google Cloud Vision first came out it was $5 per 1,000 images (for label detection), but they reduced it on Nov 15, 2016. [3]

There are a lot of services like this (Google Cloud Vision, IBM Watson, CloudSight, Clarifai, Imagga) but I'm yet to see one that lets me provide my own dataset. That's what I'm most interested in.

So far the only solution I know of is to take Google's Inception net and train/host it myself somewhere.

I know Watson at least lets you do this: https://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/doc/visual-recogni...

Are there other similar services out there or is this completely new? It looks really awesome. I know this is silly to ask of a cloud company but some kind of offline mode would be really useful for robotics and for the security example. Maybe it could be limited like you request n specific things you want to recognize and it stores the relevant data locally.

Might as well use a pretrained Imagenet or Inception for an offline mode. Of course it would be harder to use.

It does but it's extremely cumbersome if you have densely tagged images, as you need to send each image once per tag. Plus I believe there's a limit to the size of a ZIP.
