I am trying to use the OpenCV’s cascade classifier based on Histogram of Oriented Objects (HOGs) feature type — such as the paper “Fast Human Detection Using a Cascade of Histograms of Oriented Gradients”.
Searching in the web, I found that the Cascade Classificator of OpenCV only supports HAAR/LBP feature type (OpenCV Cascade Classification).
- Is there a way to use HOGs with the OpenCV cascade classifier? What
do you suggest? - Is there a patch or another library that I can use?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT 1
I’ve kept my search, when I finally found in android-opencv that there is a trunk in Cascade Classifier which allows it to work with HOG features. But I don’t know if it works…

EDIT 2
I have not tested the fork above because my problem has changed. But I found an interesting link which may be very useful in the future (when I come back to this problem).
This page contains the source code of the paper “Histograms of Oriented Gradients for
Human Detection”. Also, more information. http://pascal.inrialpes.fr/soft/olt/
It now seems to be available also in the non-python code. opencv_traincascade in 2.4.3 has a HOG featuretype option (which I did not try):
