<![CDATA[Lebesgue spaces (Lp over Rn) play a significant role in mathematical analysis. They are widely used in machine learning and artificial intelligence to maximize performance or minimize error. The well-known histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) algorithm applies the 2-norm (Euclidean distance) to detect features in images. In this paper, we apply different p-norm values to identify the impact that changing these norms has on the original algorithm. The aim of this modification is to achieve better performance in classifying X-ray medical images related to of COVID-19 patients. The efficiency of the p-HOG algorithm is compared with the original HOG descriptor using a support vector machine implemented in Python. The results of the comparisons are promising, and the p-HOG algorithm shows greater efficiency in most cases.]]>
