Overview of this book

This book is designed to introduce you to IoT and Raspberry Pi 3. It will help you create interesting projects, such as setting up a weather station and measuring temperature and humidity using sensors; it will also show you how to send sensor data to cloud for visualization in real-time. Then we shift our focus to leveraging IoT for accomplishing complex tasks, such as facial recognition using the Raspberry Pi camera module, AWS Rekognition, and the AWS S3 service. Furthermore, you will master security aspects by building a security surveillance system to protect your premises from intruders using Raspberry Pi, a camera, motion sensors, and AWS Cloud. We'll also create a real-world project by building a Wi-Fi – controlled robot car with Raspberry Pi using a motor driver circuit, DC motor, and a web application. This book is a must-have as it provides a practical overview of IoT’s existing architectures, communication protocols, and security threats at the software and hardware levels—security being the most important aspect of IoT.

Deep learning

Let's understand what deep learning is. Deep learning is a part of machine learning that deals with emulating the learning approach of human beings. Traditional machine learning algorithms are linear in nature, whereas deep learning algorithms are nonlinear and stacked in a hierarchy of increasing complexity and abstraction, for example, when the parents of a toddler teach him what a cat looks like by pointing at it, and when he points to an object the next time and tags it as a cat, then the parents confirm by saying "Yes, it is a cat" or if the toddler identifies it wrongly, then the parents say "No, it is not a cat." In this way, a toddler learns to identify a cat and makes himself aware of all the features of a cat over a period of time. In this process, what a toddler does is unconsciously build a stack of information in their mind about...
