Title
Feature Relevance Analysis For Writer Identification
Abstract
This work presents an analytical study on the relevance of features in an existing framework for writer identification from offline handwritten document images. The identification system comprises a set of 15 features combining the orientation and curvature information in a writing with the well-known codebook based approach. This study aims to find the optimal feature subset to identify the author of a questioned document while maintaining acceptable identification rates. Employing a genetic algorithm with a wrapper method we carry out a feature selection mechanism and identify the most relevant features that characterize the writer of a handwritten document.
