Abstract

The analysis of various aspect of handwriting could be traced to have a long history like that of handwriting itself. Handwriting examination not only deals with the mere inspection and comparison of the designs of various letters but it also incubates the art of distinguishing between various traits of handwriting, between genuine and forged writing, and natural and disguised writing. Since early times, the whole process has remained manual i.e. Forensic Document Examiners (FDEs) do this work by comparing the handwriting samples manually. Undoubtedly, FDEs have a much higher accuracy rate as compared to laymen, still the need of a scientific support is there to strengthen the opinion of experts. Assistance of computers has much changed this entire scenario now. A number of computational tools have been developed that not only helps in image processing but also in identification and verification of handwriting. Some great efforts have been made in this field by researchers as described in reviews given below:
