Advantageous property of behavioural signals (e.g. handwriting), in contrast to morphological ones iris, fingerprint, hand geometry), is the possibility ask a user perform many different tasks. This article summarises recent findings and applications handwriting/drawing tasks field security health. More specifically, it focused on on-line handwriting hand-based interaction, i.e. that utilise di...

Introduction While most children have developed effective handwriting by secondary school age, some difficulties that hamper academic progress. Occupational therapists play a role in assessment and planning support, which may include introducing typing as an alternative. However, there is limited understanding regarding how decisions are made about recommending typing. This study explored the s...

One of the most popular areas of study in pattern recognition which has now become the centre of many researchers’ attention is Writer Identification. A more recent development in the area is Twins Handwriting Identification which has now become not only an important, but also widely popular area of study especially in the fields of forensic research and biometrical identification. In terms of ...

Handwriting identification is a technique of automatic person identification based on the personal handwriting. It is a hot research topic in the field of pattern recognition due to its indispensible role in the biometric individual identification. Although many approaches have emerged, recent research has shown that off-line Chinese handwriting identification remains a challenge problem. In th...

Taking into account findings in the literature, the author aimed to test whether specific graphical characteristics of handwriting can distinguish patients diagnosed with schizophrenic disorders from healthy controls. Handwriting samples (one sample from each person) from 60 outpatients (29 women, 31 men; age M = 28.5, SD = 5.4) with paranoid schizophrenia were analyzed by three documents exami...

Supporting programming on touchscreen devices requires effective text input and editing methods. Unfortunately, the virtual keyboard can be inefficient and uses valuable screen space on already small devices. Recent advances in stylus input make handwriting a potentially viable text input solution for programming on touchscreen devices. The primary barrier, however, is that handwriting recognit...

OBJECTIVE Children with ADHD often present with handwriting difficulties. However, the extent to which motor and attention skills influence performance in this group has not yet been explored. The objective of this study was to examine the factors associated with change in handwriting performance. METHOD This study examines the factors associated with change in handwriting performance of 49 c...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effects of school-based occupational therapy services on students' handwriting. METHOD Students 7 to 10 years of age with poor handwriting legibility who received direct occupational therapy services (n = 29) were compared with students who did not receive services (n = 9) on handwriting legibility and speed and associated performance components. Visual-m...

Being motivated by the widely accepted principle that the more training data we have, the better performance the recognition system has, we conducted experiments asking human subjects to do test on a mixture of real English handwritten textlines and textlines altered from existing handwriting with various distortion degrees. The idea of generating synthetic handwriting is based on a perturbatio...

The individuality of handwriting is the principal underpinning of forensic handwriting examination. 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...
