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 objects using GPUs on NVIDIA Jetson Nano

NVIDIA makes a series of GPU-enabled SBCs. Some of these, such as the TX2, are used on drones because they are lightweight and can pack a lot of power under their GPU-enabled systems. GPUs, along with Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), are able to deliver multiple times the computer vision capabilities compared with standard CPUs. In this recipe, we will use NVIDIA Jetson Nano, which is their least expensive development board at $99. The Jetson has an ecosystem of libraries that only work on their products.
