Hi All,
I have been assigned a project to develop a "font recognition
application" using PHP.
It goes something like this:-
The user uploads an image file containing some text. The application
is required to identify the text and the font used there.
Below are links to 2 great applications which I would like to derive
from:-
So far what I understand is, I'll need to have the font names along
with their features to be stored in a database, then I'll need to
analyze the image, pick up the characters from it, identify their
typographical features and run a match on the database to get the top
matching fonts.
However right now I haven't got a clue as to how I go about the
implementation of the above logic or whether there's some other
approach. Need to start right from a scratch, any inputs/suggestions
are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
