Data Acquisition using LabVIEW. Click here to enter text

Behzad Ehsani

NI LabVIEW's intuitive graphical interface eliminates the steep learning curve associated with text-based languages such as C or C++. LabVIEW is a proven and powerful integrated development environment to interact with measurement and control hardware, analyze data, publish results, and distribute systems. This hands-on tutorial guide helps you harness the power of LabVIEW for data acquisition. This book begins with a quick introduction to LabVIEW, running through the fundamentals of communication and data collection. Then get to grips with the auto-code generation feature of LabVIEW using its GUI interface. You will learn how to use NI-DAQmax Data acquisition VIs, showing how LabVIEW can be used to appropriate a true physical phenomenon (such as temperature, light, and so on) and convert it to an appropriate data type that can be manipulated and analyzed with a computer. You will also learn how to create Distribution Kit for LabVIEW, acquainting yourself with various debugging techniques offered by LabVIEW to help you in situations where bugs are not letting you run your programs as intended.By the end of the book, you will have a clear idea how to build your own data acquisition system independently and much more.

Learning PHP Data Objects. A Beginner's Guide to PHP Data Objects, Database Connection Abstraction Library for PHP 5

Dennis Popel

PDO is lighter, faster, and more powerful than existing PHP data abstraction interfaces. PDO is a common interface to different databases that must be used with a database-specific PDO driver to access a particular database server: the PDO extension does not provide a database abstraction by itself; it doesn't rewrite SQL, emulate missing database features, or perform any database functions using by itself. It performs the same role as other classic database abstraction layers such as ODBC and JDBC: it's a query abstraction layer that abstracts the mechanism for accessing a database and manipulating the returned records; each database driver that implements the PDO interface can also expose database-specific features as regular extension functions. ¬ PDO ships with PHP 5.1, and is available as an extension for PHP 5.0; it requires the new object-oriented features of PHP 5, and cannot run with earlier versions of PHP.This book will teach you how to use the PDO, including its advanced features. Readers need to be aware of the basics of data abstraction and should be familiar with PHP.

Mastering OpenCV with Practical Computer Vision Projects. This is the definitive advanced tutorial for OpenCV, designed for those with basic C++ skills. The computer vision projects are divided into easily assimilated chapters with an emphasis on practical involvement for an easier learning curve

Mora Saragih, Eugene Khvedchenia, Daniel L?É?íÂ!(C)lis Baggio, Shervin Emami, ...

Computer Vision is fast becoming an important technology and is used in Mars robots, national security systems, automated factories, driver-less cars, and medical image analysis to new forms of human-computer interaction. OpenCV is the most common library for computer vision, providing hundreds of complex and fast algorithms. But it has a steep learning curve and limited in-depth tutorials.Mastering OpenCV with Practical Computer Vision Projects is the perfect book for developers with just basic OpenCV skills who want to try practical computer vision projects, as well as the seasoned OpenCV experts who want to add more Computer Vision topics to their skill set or gain more experience with OpenCV's new C++ interface before migrating from the C API to the C++ API.Each chapter is a separate project including the necessary background knowledge, so try them all one-by-one or jump straight to the projects you're most interested in.Create working prototypes from this book including real-time mobile apps, Augmented Reality, 3D shape from video, or track faces & eyes, fluid wall using Kinect, number plate recognition and so on.Mastering OpenCV with Practical Computer Vision Projects gives you rapid training in nine computer vision areas with useful projects.

Machine Learning Model Serving Patterns and Best Practices. A definitive guide to deploying, monitoring, and providing accessibility to ML models in production

Md Johirul Islam

Serving patterns enable data science and ML teams to bring their models to production. Most ML models are not deployed for consumers, so ML engineers need to know the critical steps for how to serve an ML model.This book will cover the whole process, from the basic concepts like stateful and stateless serving to the advantages and challenges of each. Batch, real-time, and continuous model serving techniques will also be covered in detail. Later chapters will give detailed examples of keyed prediction techniques and ensemble patterns. Valuable associated technologies like TensorFlow severing, BentoML, and RayServe will also be discussed, making sure that you have a good understanding of the most important methods and techniques in model serving. Later, you’ll cover topics such as monitoring and performance optimization, as well as strategies for managing model drift and handling updates and versioning. The book will provide practical guidance and best practices for ensuring that your model serving pipeline is robust, scalable, and reliable. Additionally, this book will explore the use of cloud-based platforms and services for model serving using AWS SageMaker with the help of detailed examples.By the end of this book, you'll be able to save and serve your model using state-of-the-art techniques.
