This is an example illustrating the use of the extract_fhog_features() routine from
the dlib C++ Library.
The extract_fhog_features() routine performs the style of HOG feature extraction
described in the paper:
Object Detection with Discriminatively Trained Part Based Models by
P. Felzenszwalb, R. Girshick, D. McAllester, D. Ramanan
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, Vol. 32, No. 9, Sep. 2010
This means that it takes an input image and outputs Felzenszwalb's
31 dimensional version of HOG features. We show its use below.
