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 the country recorded as France, during June 2005. The category the publisher falls under is academia.

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as performing the task of 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 of text.

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

Answers

Histograms of Oriented Gradients — common questions

01

Histograms of Oriented Gradients— is it open source?

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

02

Histograms of Oriented Gradients— how many parameters does it have?

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

03

Histograms of Oriented Gradients— who created it?

It was published by INRIA, based in France, an organisation categorised as academia.

04

Histograms of Oriented Gradients— when was it released?

It 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

Histograms of Oriented Gradients— what is it used for?

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

06

Histograms of Oriented Gradients— what GPU do I need to run it?

None. This 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.
