This should be fairly easy to achieve:
- By looking at several images extract a sample of each character and save these image files locally.
- Take the images that you want to 'read' and apply a fourier transform on it.
- For each character you extracted in 1 do a convolution of its fourier transform with the fourier transform from 2.
- If a maxima occurs note its position.
- After every charater has been tried list them in the order they appear in the image.
Voila - you have the letters!
PS you should check the maths here but I believe that it is roughtly right - long time since I did this at Uni.
