OpenCV code/library to remove scanning artifacts [closed]

I see a lot of questions on internet in order to remove the scanning artifacts/lines/background noise etc.. from images with help of OpenCV library. For example to prepare image for OCR process. Looks like this is a pretty common task but I unable to find any opensource implementation based on OpenCV for this purpose. Is there anything already available for this purpose with no needs to implement such kind of task on the low level with OpenCV help ?

"Is there anything already available for this purpose with no needs to implement such kind of task" -- NO.

simply, because there is no generalization for "the task".

There are libraries like for example Inlite Clearimage where you can perform such operations in a very abstract way, something like this:

    repair.AdvancedBinarize(-1, 0, 0);

    repair.BorderExtract(EBorderExtractFlags.ciBexBorderDeskewCrop, EBorderExtractAlgorithm.ciBeaCleaner);
    repair.RemovePunchHoles();
    repair.CleanNoiseExt(new ECleanNoiseFlags(ECleanNoiseFlags.ciCnxBlackNoise, ECleanNoiseFlags.ciCnxWhiteNoise), 10, 10, 10, 0);
    repair.ClearBackground(30);
    repair.DeleteLines(ELineDirection.ciLineVertAndHorz, EBoolean.ciFalse);
    repair.FaxRemoveHeader();
    repair.FaxStandardToFine();
    repair.FaxRemoveBlankLines();

Do we have something similar and abstract for OpenCV?

@alexanoid, -- again, no. opencv is a generic computer-vision library, it does not focus on the task you require

I understand the purpose of opencv library but I'm asking about "opensource implementation based on OpenCV for this purpose"
