Comparison of Gabor-Based Features for Writer Identification of Farsi/Arabic Handwriting

چکیده
Writer identification recently has been studied and it has a wide variety of applications. Most studies are based on English documents with the assumption that the written text is fixed (text-dependent methods) and no research has been reported on Farsi or Arabic documents. In this paper, we have proposed a method for off-line writer identification based on Farsi handwriting, which is text-independent. Based on idea that has been presented in previous studies, in this paper we assume handwriting as texture image and a set of features which are based on multi-channel Gabor filtering and co-occurrence matrix features, are extracted from preprocessed image of documents. Experimental results demonstrate that the best result, 92% correct identification in a hit list with size 3 and 88% in a hit list with size 1, is acquired by using Gaborenergy features on Farsi handwritten documents from 25 peoples.

Offline Language-free Writer Identification based on Speeded-up Robust Features
This article proposes offline language-free writer identification based on speeded-up robust features (SURF), goes through training, enrollment, and identification stages. In all stages, an isotropic Box filter is first used to segment the handwritten text image into word regions (WRs). Then, the SURF descriptors (SUDs) of word region and the corresponding scales and orientations (SOs) are extr...
متن کاملWriter identification using fractal dimension of wavelet subbands in gabor domain
Writer identification is an important and active branch of biometrics, which means the methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon their intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. In this paper, we propose one new method for off-line, textindependent writer identification by using the fractal dimension of wavelet subbands in Gabor domain of the handwriting images. In this method, the handw...

In this paper, we describe a new method to identify the writer of Chinese handwriting documents. There are many methods for signature verification or writer identification, but most of them require segmentation or connected component analysis. They are the kinds of content dependent identification methods as signature verification requires the writer to write the same text (e.g. his name). In o...
متن کاملWriter Identification from Non-uniformly Skewed Handwriting Images
Many techniques have been reported for handwriting-based writer identification. Most such techniques assume that the written text is fixed (e.g., in signature verification). In this paper we attempt to eliminate this assumption by presenting a novel algorithm for automatic text-independent writer identification from non-uniformly skewed handwriting images. Given that the handwriting of differen...

In this paper we present a survey of the literature on Arabic writer identification scheme and up-to date techniques employed in identification. The paper begins with an overview of the various writer identification schemes in Arabic and Persian languages. After that, an attempt is made to describe the complex character of Arabic strokes. Previous studies have used a number of Arabic datasets c...
