AWS rekognition documentation change
Summary
Updated explanations about oval location and colored lights from 'security features' to 'features that enable higher accuracy'. Removed sections describing dynamic oval positioning as a security measure.
Security assessment
The changes rephrase explanations to focus on accuracy rather than security, but there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability. This appears to be a documentation clarification rather than a security fix.
