PaddleOCR (v3/v4/v5/v6) Implemented in C++ with ncnn for Lightweight Deployment
English summary
Developer Knok0932 updated an open-source C++ implementation of PaddleOCR to support text detection and recognition models from PP-OCR v3 through the latest v6. The project uses the ncnn inference framework instead of the official Paddle C++ runtime, which is described as complex and heavy with many dependencies. The ncnn-based approach reportedly offers faster inference for the author's tasks and greatly simplifies deployment. The code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/Avafly/PaddleOCR-ncnn-CPP.
Chinese summary
开发者 Knok0932 更新了一个开源 C++ PaddleOCR 实现，现已支持 PP-OCR v3 到最新的 v6 文本检测与识别模型。该项目使用 ncnn 推理框架替代官方 Paddle C++ 运行时，后者依赖繁多、部署复杂。根据开发者的任务，基于 ncnn 的方法推理速度更快且大幅简化了部署。代码已在 GitHub 上公开（https://github.com/Avafly/PaddleOCR-ncnn-CPP）。
