Histograms of Oriented Gradients

Closed weights INRIA June 2005

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean

Background

Histograms of Oriented Gradients was published by INRIA, in France, in June 2005. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Vision, and is recorded as doing object detection.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

How it was trained

The training set ran to roughly 14,658 tokens.

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is highly cited.

Answers

Histograms of Oriented Gradients — common questions

01

Is Histograms of Oriented Gradients open source?

The licensing for Histograms of Oriented Gradients was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

02

How many parameters does Histograms of Oriented Gradients have?

No parameter count has been published for Histograms of Oriented Gradients, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

03

Who created Histograms of Oriented Gradients?

Histograms of Oriented Gradients was published by INRIA, based in France, categorised as academia.

04

When was Histograms of Oriented Gradients released?

Histograms of Oriented Gradients was published in June 2005. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

05

What is Histograms of Oriented Gradients used for?

Histograms of Oriented Gradients works in Vision, and is recorded as handling object detection. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

06

What GPU do I need to run Histograms of Oriented Gradients?

None. Histograms of Oriented Gradients is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

The other direction

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
