Working on an OCR project, I am trying to figure out if there is any way or possibility to omit Leptonica Library from Tesseract and maybe replace it with OpenCV. Already have OpenCV on the C layer and planning to combine that with Tesseract.

CodePudding user response：

No, it is not possible (unless you rewrite tesseract).

But you can compile leptonica with the minimal dependencies (zlib png).

Also I would suggest to check your OpenCV package as it includes support for tesseract OCR.
