Description

Hello,

Do you any plan to improve HOG based object detection by using CUDA?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to integrate CUDA for HOG based object detection in dlib. Start by understanding the existing HOG detector implementation in dlib (e.g., in dlib/image processing/hog.h). Then look at any existing CUDA support in dlib (e.g., for matrix operations). Propose a plan for GPU acceleration, including potential challenges like memory management and kernel design.
