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

- Research direction
- Review the existing HOG implementation in dlib (e.g., dlib/image processing/hog.h) to understand current performance. Investigate potential CUDA integration points by examining other CUDA modules in dlib (if any). Consider creating a benchmark to measure current HOG performance and propose a design for CUDA acceleration. Engage with maintainers in the issue comments to clarify requirements and feasibility.
