Artificial Intelligence for IoT Cookbook

By: Michael Roshak

Overview of this book

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly finding practical applications across a wide variety of industry verticals, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of them. Developers are looking for ways to make IoT devices smarter and to make users’ lives easier. With this AI cookbook, you’ll be able to implement smart analytics using IoT data to gain insights, predict outcomes, and make informed decisions, along with covering advanced AI techniques that facilitate analytics and learning in various IoT applications. Using a recipe-based approach, the book will take you through essential processes such as data collection, data analysis, modeling, statistics and monitoring, and deployment. You’ll use real-life datasets from smart homes, industrial IoT, and smart devices to train and evaluate simple to complex models and make predictions using trained models. Later chapters will take you through the key challenges faced while implementing machine learning, deep learning, and other AI techniques, such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and embedded machine learning for building smart IoT systems. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to deploy models and improve their performance with ease. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to package and deploy end-to-end AI apps and apply best practice solutions to common IoT problems.

Detecting faces with deep neural nets and Caffe

One advantage of using OpenCV's implementation of visual neural networks is that they are available on different platforms. For the sake of clarity and brevity, we are using Python on an environment that has Python installed. However, the same results could be used with OpenCV's C++ implementation on an ARM-CortexM3 or OpenCV's Java implementation on an Android system. In this recipe, we are going to use a face detection neural network that OpenCV implemented based on the Caffe machine learning framework. The output of this recipe will be a window on the PC that has the image with bounding boxes around the face.
