Master C++ with practicals in Arduino/CNN | Udemy

Embark on a journey into the world of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, C++, and Arduino with this comprehensive guide. This book is meticulously crafted to provide a robust understanding of the fundamental concepts and hands-on experience with practical implementation using LibTorch (the PyTorch C++ API) and C++.

The book begins with an introductory course on C++ and Arduino, designed for beginners and those looking to refresh their knowledge. This course covers everything from the basics of programming in C++ to the intricacies of working with Arduino, all taught from scratch. It provides a solid foundation for the subsequent modules.

What you will learn

The book is structured into nine distinct modules:

1. Introduction to C++ and Arduino – This module serves as an introductory course for beginners. It covers the basics of programming in C++, the use of Arduino IDE, and the fundamentals of Arduino programming.
2. Introduction to Machine Learning and Deep Learning – Acquire the basics of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Neural Networks.
3. Convolutional Neural Networks – Comprehend Convolutional Layers, Pooling, and Fully Connected Layers. Construct a CNN using PyTorch.
4. Practical Implementation with LibTorch – Gain knowledge about Data Loading, Preprocessing, Training a CNN Model, and Model Evaluation and Optimization.
5. Integration with Arduino – Delve into Arduino, On-device AI, Edge Computing, and the process of deploying a LibTorch Model on Arduino. Understand the potential of Arduino in facilitating real-time machine learning applications and how it can be used to implement and test machine learning models in a hardware environment.
6. Training and Testing the CNN – Understand the procedure of training and testing a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) on a dataset.
7. Exporting the Trained Model in LibTorch and ONNX – Learn the method to export a trained LibTorch model and convert it into the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) format.
8. Loading and Using the Model in C++ – Learn the technique to load the exported ONNX model in a C++ environment and use it for inference.
9. Optimizing C++ Code – Discover various strategies to optimize the C++ code for enhanced performance.
10. Advanced Topics – Learn about advanced CNN architectures and their implementation using LibTorch.
