A Robust Authentication System Handwritten Documents using Local Features for Writer Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
A robust authentication system for handwritten document images carries considerable importance. The authenticity of legal documents, such as wills, signatures, etc., needs to be verified, in order to prevent fraudulent acts. The characteristics of writing style vary from person to person; by analyzing the local features of handwriting, we can possibly identify the writer. In this paper, we introduce a local feature based approach, in which writer-specific characteristics are extracted. The presence of repetitive patterns within handwriting gave us the idea of dividing the writing into a large number of small sub-images. The similarly shaped sub-images are grouped together in classes. The most repetitive patterns are extracted, and the unknown author of the document is identified, using a Bayesian classifier. We tested the system on 50 documents, achieving a successful identification rate of approximately 94%. Category: Embedded computing

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 curvature-free features
Feature engineering takes a very important role in writer identification which has been widely studied in the literature. Previous works have shown that the joint feature distribution of two properties can improve the performance. The joint feature distribution makes feature relationships explicit instead of roping that a trained classifier picks up a non-linear relation present in the data. In...
متن کاملHandwritten Document Analysis for Automatic Writer Recognition
In this paper, we show that both the writer identification and the writer verification tasks can be carried out using local features such as graphemes extracted from the segmentation of cursive handwriting. We thus enlarge the scope of the possible use of these two tasks which have been, up to now, mainly evaluated on script handwritings. A textual based Information Retrieval model is used for ...
متن کاملHandwritten Document Image Analysis at Los Alamos: Script, Language, and Writer Identification
A system for automatically identifying the script used in a handwritten document image is described. The system was developed using a 496-document dataset representing six scripts, eight languages, and 281 writers. Documents were characterized by the mean, standard deviation, and skew of five connected component features. A linear discriminant analysis was used to classify new documents, and te...
متن کاملWriter Identification Using Curvature-free Features
In this chapter, we propose two novel and curvature-free features: run-lengths of Local Binary Pattern (LBPruns) and Cloud Of Line Distribution (COLD) features for writer identification. The LBPruns is the joint distribution of the traditional run-length and local binary pattern (LBP) methods, which computes the run-lengths of local binary patterns on both binarized images and gray scale images...
