Nowadays, most of the companies are shifting from desktop PCs application to cloud based applications deployed on clouds to provide the effective services in the heterogeneous environments. But, in order to survive in such a cloud competitive market,
Self-driving vehicles such as autonomous cars are manufactured mostly with smart sensors and IoT devices with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. In most of the cases, smart sensors are networked with IoT devices to transmit the data in real-time. IoT devices transmit the sensor data to the processing unit to do necessary actions based on sensor output data. The processing unit executes the tasks based on pre-defined instructions given to the processor with embedded and AI coding techniques. Continuous streaming of sensors raw data to the processing unit and for cloud storage are creating a huge load on cloud devices or on servers. In order to reduce the amount of stream data load on the cloud, fog computing, or fogging technology, helps a lot. Fogging is nothing but the pre-processing of the data before deploying it into the cloud. In fog environment, data optimization and analytical techniques take place as a part of data processing in a data hub on IoT devices or in a gateway.
E-waste is an invisible, indirect waste that contaminates natural resources like the air, water, and soil, endangering the ecosystem, people, and animals. Long-term waste accumulation and contamination can harm the resources found in the environment. Since traditional waste management systems are very inefficient and the number of people living in urban areas is increasing, waste management systems in these areas face challenges. However, by combining a variety of sensors with deep learning (DL) models, waste resources can be used effectively. For this chapter, firstly, the Trashnet dataset with 2527 images in six classes and the VN-trash dataset, which comprises three classes and 5904 images, are collected. Then the collected images are preprocessed using truncated gaussian filter. After that, pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models (Resnet20 and VGG19) are applied to the images in order to extract features. In order to enhance the predictive performance, this study then creates a MobileNetV2 model for trash classification (TC) called MNetV2-TC.
