Hi there!
I have search in the OpenCV documentation and I haven't found any clue about derivAperture parameter in the HOGDescriptor function.
Anyone knows what is this parameter for?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you for your answer I will try to discover if it is used for the Sobel operator. It,s defined in this function in objectdetect.cpp
CV_WRAP HOGDescriptor() : winSize(64,128), blockSize(16,16), blockStride(8,8), cellSize(8,8), nbins(9), derivAperture(1), winSigma(-1), histogramNormType(HOGDescriptor::L2Hys), L2HysThreshold(0.2), gammaCorrection(true), nlevels(HOGDescriptor::DEFAULT_NLEVELS)
If anyone had the same problem I think I have found the solution in: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~bensapp/opencvdocs/ref/opencvref_cv.htm
aperture_size Size of the extended Sobel kernel, must be 1, 3, 5 or 7. In all cases except 1, aperture_size ×aperture_size separable kernel will be used to calculate the derivative. For aperture_size=1 3x1 or 1x3 kernel is used (Gaussian smoothing is not done).
But I'm not totally sure.
Hi,
It seems weird but I grepped HOG source code and I'm not able to find a place where this parameter is actually used. I expected it to be aperture size of the Sobel operator to compute derivatives (like Canny has apertureSize parameter). But it seems like this parameter is not used in HOGDescriptor.
