Traditional computer vision solutions can require significant upfront investment. Setting up data pipelines, model training infrastructure, compute resources, and a dedicated data science team is often prohibitive for small companies or teams. Amazon Nova 2 Lite, available through Amazon Bedrock, provides an appealing alternative solution. This multimodal foundation model detects objects through natural language prompts with no training required. Specify “vehicle”, “person”, or “dent”, and Nova returns precise bounding box coordinates in structured JSON format.

In this post, we’ll walk through implementing object detection with Amazon Nova 2 Lite. You’ll learn how to deploy an object detection application using Amazon Bedrock, AWS Lambda, and Amazon API Gateway. You’ll also learn how to craft effective prompts, process structured JSON output, and visualize results. We explore practical applications across manufacturing, agriculture, and logistics.
