Prerequisite Knowledge

This program requires intermediate knowledge of Python, and experience with Deep Learning, Command Line, and OpenCV.

  • Edge AI Fundamentals with OpenVINO™

    Leverage a pre-trained model for computer vision inferencing. You will convert pre-trained models into the framework agnostic intermediate representation with the Model Optimizer, and perform efficient inference on deep learning models through the hardware-agnostic Inference Engine. Finally, you will deploy an app on the edge, including sending information through MQTT, and analyze model performance and use cases

    Deploy a People Counter at the Edge

  • Hardware for Computer Vision & Deep Learning Application Deployment

    Grow your expertise in choosing the right hardware. Identify key hardware specifications of various hardware types (CPU, VPU, FPGA, and Integrated GPU). Utilize the Intel® DevCloud for the Edge to test model performance and deploy power-efficient deep neural network inference on on the various hardware types. Finally, you will distribute workload on available compute devices in order to improve model performance.

    Design a Smart Queuing System

  • Optimization Techniques and Tools for Computer Vision & Deep Learning Applications

    Learn how to optimize your model and application code to reduce inference time when running your model at the edge. Use different software optimization techniques to improve the inference time of your model. Calculate how computationally expensive your model is. Use the DL Workbench to optimize your model and benchmark the performance of your model. Use a VTune amplifier to find and fix hotspots in your application code. Finally, package your application code and data so that it can be easily deployed to multiple devices.

Program Details

PROGRAM OVERVIEW – WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS PROGRAM?
Why should I enroll?
70% of data being created is at the edge, and only half of that will go to the public cloud; the rest will be stored and processed at the edge, which requires a different kind of developer. Demand for professionals with the Edge AI skills will be immense, as the Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) software market size is forecasted to grow from $355 Million in 2018, to $1.15 billion by 2023, at an Annual Growth Rate of 27%.(MarketsandMarkets) In the Edge AI for IoT Developers Nanodegree program, you’ll leverage the potential of edge computing and use the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit to fast-track development of high-performance computer vision and deep learning inference applications.
Computer Vision is a fast-growing technology being deployed in nearly every industry from factory floors to amusement parks to shopping malls, smart buildings, and smart homes. It is also driving the evolution of machine learning and human interactions with intelligent systems. Additional applications include drones, security cameras, robots, facial recognition on cell phones, self-driving vehicles, and more, which means these industries and more all need developers with computer vision and deep learning IoT experience.
