Book Description
Edge analytics has gained attention as the IoT model for connected
devices rises in popularity. This guide will give you insights into edge
analytics as a data analysis model, and help you understand why it's
gaining momentum.
You'll begin with the key concepts and components used in an edge
analytics app. Moving ahead, you'll delve into communication protocols
to understand how sensors send their data to computers or
microcontrollers. Next, the book will demonstrate how to design modern
edge analytics apps that take advantage of the processing power of
modern single-board computers and microcontrollers. Later, you'll
explore Microsoft Azure IoT Edge, MicroPython, and the OpenCV visual
recognition library. As you progress, you'll cover techniques for
processing AI functionalities from the server side to the sensory side
of IoT. You'll even get hands-on with designing a smart doorbell system
using the technologies you've learned. To remove vulnerabilities in the
overall edge analytics architecture, you'll discover ways to overcome
security and privacy challenges. Finally, you'll use tools to audit and
perform real-time monitoring of incoming data and generate alerts for
the infrastructure.
By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to use edge analytics
programming techniques and be able to implement automated analytical
computations.
