Directional Hinge Features for Writer Identification: The Importance of the Skeleton and the Effects of Character Size and Pixel Intensity

The main goal of the present work is to determine the hand that has written two newly discovered documents in Romania. For giving the proper answer, the authors introduced the notion of “Ideal Representative”, namely of an object that very well represents the corresponding ideal alphabet symbol that a writer had in his/her mind when writing a document by hand. Moreover, the authors have introduced a novel method, which leads to the optimal evaluation of the Ideal Representative of any alphabet symbol in association with any handwritten document. Furthermore, the authors have introduced methods for comparing these Ideal Representatives, so as a final decision about the hand that has written a document may be obtained with a highly considerable likelihood. The related analysis manifests that the two documents discovered in Romania in 1998, belong to the great personality of Rigas Feraios. The presented method of automatic handwriting Identification seems to be of general applicability.
