Analysis of Handwriting Individuality Using Word Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analysis of allographs (characters) and allograph combinations (words) is the key for obtaining the discriminating elements of handwriting. While allographs usually inhabit in words and segregation of a word into allographs is more subjective than objective, especially for cursive writing, analysis of handwritten words is a natural and better option. In this study, a handwritten word image is characterized by gradient, structural, and concavity features, and individuality of handwritten words is experimented through writership identification and verification on over 12,000 word images extracted from 3000 handwriting samples of 1000 individuals in U.S.. Experimental results show that handwritten words are very effective in differentiating handwriting and carry more individuality than most handwritten characters (allographs).

Studies of individuality have considered different statistical extremes to obtain handwriting samples. The first is a representative population drawn from a country. The second is a population of twins– so as to reflect genetic similarity. A third approach is to study whether teachers and schools...
متن کاملDevelopment of Individuality in Children's Handwriting.
Handwriting of children in early grades is studied from the viewpoint of quantitatively measuring the development of handwriting individuality. Handwriting samples of children, in grades 2-4, writing a paragraph of text in both handprinted and cursive, collected over a period of 3 years, were analyzed using two different approaches: (i) characteristics of the word "and" and (ii) entire paragrap...
متن کاملOffline Signature Verification And Identification Using Distance Statistics
This paper describes a novel approach for signature verification and identification in an offline environment based on a quasi-multiresolution technique using GSC (Gradient, Structural and Concavity) features for feature extraction. These features when used at the word level, instead of the character level, yield promising results with accuracies as high as 78% and 93% for verification and iden...

متن کاملIndividuality of Handwritten Characters
Analysis of handwritten characters (allographs) plays an important role in forensic document examination. However, so far there lacks a comprehensive and quantitative study on individuality of handwritten characters. Based on a large number of handwritten characters extracted from handwriting samples of 1000 individuals in US, the individuality of handwritten characters has been quantitatively ...
