    Font recognition using PHP

    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:-

    Identify fonts with our font finder tool using an image or photo. Upload an image, and we’ll search our collection of over 133,000 fonts for the best match.



    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.
Working...
