Sydney Java Meet-Up - Java and Image Rekognition!

Sydney Java Meet-Up #19

For this month's Java Meetup we're delving into computer vision!
Luke Quinane will be showing us how to use AWS Rekognition to investigate unstructured data.
Luke Thompson will demo using OpenCV and Java to perform image manipulation with a serverless API.

Everything coded in the session will be contributed to the Sydney Java Meetup GitHub (so there's no need to make copious notes):
