This paper introduces a novel method for online writer identification. Traditional methods make use of the distribution of directions in handwritten traces. The novelty of this paper comes from 1)We propose a text-independent writer identification that uses handwriting stroke’s probability distribution function (SPDF) as writer features; 2)We extract four dynamic features to characterize writer...
