Abstract
Embodiments relate to a histogram-of-oriented gradients (HOG) module. The HOG module is implemented in hardware rather than software. The HOG module applies an algorithm to an image to identify gradient orientation in localized portions of the image. The HOG module creates a histogram-of orientation gradients based on the identified gradient orientations.
