We extend the histogram of oriented gradient method to three-channel images which are captured by commercial RGB cameras. Firstly, we reformulate the oriented gradients (HoG) method from the viewpoints of gradient-based image pattern recognition and the directional statistics. Secondly, we develop operations for unification of three directional histograms constructed in channels of colour images.
