当初只是自己写写看看，代码贴出来不到1个半月，访问量就是四百多，相比我其他的水文，真是不一样啊。没想到还是给挺多人带来了小小的帮助。Ronan指出了程序中的一个错误，我改了过来。也不知道这位罗兰大哥是哪国的，从访问来源和时间来看，可能是爱尔兰或瑞典或在宽泛一点欧洲的，那我就再写几句自己三脚猫的英语吧。。。
实际上这个程序确实是很粗糙，而HOG已经有快速算法了，所以我的这个程序的作用也就是供大家做效果对比用。当时写这个程序时写完了就给贴上来了，不知道是否正确，现在根据我自己的使用情况，还有评论中clydez和Ronan的反馈，程序使用是没有问题的。
希望能给大家带来些便利。

ps. wolf1sky 指出了两个问题，我做了修改，位置在程序用搜索wolf1sky 就能找出来。但是修改后的我没有做测试，因为还得找样本训练。。哪位测试过了没问题就啃一声啊呵呵。这个代码的作用仅供第一次接触HOG的人理解用呵呵。
【Note:大家提了很多问题。。其实我这程序也不用这么来研究。。我把问题总结了下，写了回答，在这里

看HOG特征的论文的时候心血来潮写了这个, 就当练练英语, 理解理解HOG特征.
function F = hogcalculator(img, cellpw, cellph, nblockw, nblockh,...
nthet, overlap, isglobalinterpolate, issigned, normmethod)
% HOGCALCULATOR calculate R-HOG feature vector of an input image using the
% procedure presented in Dalal and Triggs's paper in CVPR 2005.
%
% Author: timeHandle
% Time: March 24, 2010
% May 12，2010 update.
%
% this copy of code is written for my personal interest, which is an
% original and inornate realization of [Dalal CVPR2005]'s algorithm
% without any optimization. I just want to check whether I understand
% the algorithm really or not, and also do some practices for knowing
% matlab programming more well because I could be called as 'novice'.
% OpenCV 2.0 has realized Dalal's HOG algorithm which runs faster
% than mine without any doubt, ╮(╯▽╰)╭ . Ronan pointed a error in
% the code，thanks for his correction. Note that at the end of this
% code, there are some demonstration code，please remove in your work.
%
% F = hogcalculator(img, cellpw, cellph, nblockw, nblockh,
% nthet, overlap, isglobalinterpolate, issigned, normmethod)
%
% IMG:
% IMG is the input image.
%
% CELLPW, CELLPH:
% CELLPW and CELLPH are cell's pixel width and height respectively.
%
% NBLOCKW, NBLCOKH:
% NBLOCKW and NBLCOKH are block size counted by cells number in x and
% y directions respectively.
%
% NTHET, ISSIGNED:
% NTHET is the number of the bins of the histogram of oriented
% gradient. The histogram of oriented gradient ranges from 0 to pi in
% 'unsigned' condition while to 2*pi in 'signed' condition, which can
% be specified through setting the value of the variable ISSIGNED by
% the string 'unsigned' or 'signed'.
%
% OVERLAP:
% OVERLAP is the overlap proportion of two neighboring block.
%
% ISGLOBALINTERPOLATE:
% ISGLOBALINTERPOLATE specifies whether the trilinear interpolation
% is done in a single global 3d histogram of the whole detecting
% window by the string 'globalinterpolate' or in each local 3d
% histogram corresponding to respective blocks by the string
% 'localinterpolate' which is in strict accordance with the procedure
% proposed in Dalal's paper. Interpolating in the whole detecting
% window requires the block's sliding step to be an integral multiple
% of cell's width and height because the histogram is fixing before
% interpolate. In fact here the so called 'global interpolation' is
% a notation given by myself. at first the spatial interpolation is
% done without any relevant to block's slide position, but when I was
% doing calculation while OVERLAP is 0.75, something occurred and
% confused me o__O"… . This let me find that the operation I firstly
% did is different from which mentioned in Dalal's paper. But this
% does not mean it is incorrect ^◎^, so I reserve this. As for name,
% besides 'global interpolate', any others would be all ok, like 'Lady GaGa'
% or what else, :-).
%
% NORMMETHOD：
% NORMMETHOD is the block histogram normalized method which can be
% set as one of the following strings:
% 'none', which means non-normalization;
% 'l1', which means L1-norm normalization;
% 'l2', which means L2-norm normalization;
% 'l1sqrt', which means L1-sqrt-norm normalization;
% 'l2hys', which means L2-hys-norm normalization.
% F：
% F is a row vector storing the final histogram of all of the blocks
% one by one in a top-left to bottom-right image scan manner, the
% cells histogram are stored in the same manner in each block's
% section of F.
%
% Note that CELLPW*NBLOCKW and CELLPH*NBLOCKH should be equal to IMG's
% width and height respectively.
%
% Here is a demonstration, which all of parameters are set as the
% best value mentioned in Dalal's paper when the window detected is 128*64
% size(128 rows, 64 columns):
% F = hogcalculator(window, 8, 8, 2, 2, 9, 0.5,
% 'localinterpolate', 'unsigned', 'l2hys');
% Also the function can be called like:
% F = hogcalculator(window);
% the other parameters are all set by using the above-mentioned "dalal's
% best value" as default.

% set default parameters value.
