I have used OpenCV to train Haar cascades to detect face and other patterns. However I later realized that Haar tends to give a lot of false positives and I learned of Hog would give a more accurate results. But OpenCV doesn't have a good documentation of how to train hogs, I have googled a bit and found results that includes SVM and others.

OpenCV also has versioning problem where they move certain classes or functions somewhere else.

Are there any other techniques/method that I can use to train and detect objects and patterns? Preferably with proper documentation and basic tutorial/examples. Language preference: C#, Java, C++, Python

  • $\begingroup$ I did. I was hoping to maybe find some better library. I also read that Hog detection would be slow. So maybe another method or techniques of detecting objects and pattern. $\endgroup$

The terms you are looking for are deeplearning and convolutional neural networks for object detection. Google responds well to these terms. From academical point of view you can start from:
Single shot multibox detector: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.02325v5.pdf
Or Faster-RCNN: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.01497.pdf
These are not simple architectures and there are many improvements to them but these give you an idea of the current state of the art methods. There are many implementations of both of these networks in deeplearning libraries for python (eg in Tensorflow, PyTorch).
