Hello, Just curious if the developers of OCRopus consider to use OpenCV as the underlying library.
1. OpenCV is implemented mainly in C and a few in C++, licensed under BSD-like license. It's well-documented and easy to use, and almost all important functions and algorithms for computer vision are implemented in OpenCV. 2. highgui library in OpenCV provides many image formats read/write and basic image drawing functions. The dependency of OCRopus on libpng, libjpeg may be eliminated? The highgui may also be enough for graphical debugging such that libsdl-dev, libsdl-gfx-dev, libsdl-image- dev are also not needed? 3. Maybe iulib can be also replaced with OpenCV? 4. OpenCV provides functions for linear algebra and matrix operation. Maybe it's useful for the implementation of feature extraction or HMM text line recongnizer? Hope to hear your advises. Thanks a lot.
