What is Oriented Gradients Histogram
In the fields of computer vision and image processing, the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) is a feature descriptor that is utilized for the purpose of object detection. This technique is used to count the number of instances of gradient orientation that occur in specific regions of an image. This technique is comparable to edge orientation histograms, scale-invariant feature transform descriptors, and shape contexts; however, it varies from those methods in that it is computed on a dense grid of evenly spaced cells and employs overlapping local contrast normalization with the purpose of achieving a higher level of accuracy.
