Is it possible to read time stamps from photos?

I have thousands of photos, each with a time stamp identical to that above.
I'd like to write a script which will automatically read in the time and date of each photo. I understand computer vision is complicated but I wonder since it's a binary black and white time stamp if there is a simple solution out there to reading the time of each photo?
Thanks for any pointers!

Thanks Per. They are png files, I already checked the metadata but there's nothing there on date/time. This is because I created the png files from an avi file-I split the avi file into all of its frames. I'll take a look at OCR! That looks promising! Thanks

There is a OCR function in the Matlab Computer Vision System Toolbox.
>> which ocr
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2018b\toolbox\vision\vision\ocr.m
