The Internet of Things-Based Technologies
The internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings, and other objects—embedded with software, electronic devices, sensors, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and share information or data. Its applications include smart homes, healthcare, industries, transportation systems, logistics, and energy. Building an IoT real-time-based application involves the proper selection of combination of sensors, technology, networks, and communication modules, supported with the concepts of data processing, remote sensing, cloud computing, etc. This chapter highlights advantages and disadvantages IoT and various techniques, such as computer vision, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, ubiquitous computing, which are widely used in various applications. Many new IoT-based applications will evolve, as new devices, sensors, chips, and computational techniques are developed.
