Abstract
This work presents an effective method for writer identification in handwritten documents. We have developed a local approach, based on the extraction of characteristics that are specific to a writer. To exploit the existence of redundant patterns within a handwriting, the writing is divided into a large number of small sub-images, and the sub-images that are morphologically similar are grouped together in the same classes. The patterns, which occur frequently for a writer are thus extracted. The author of the unknown document is then identified by a Bayesian classifier. The system trained and tested on 50 documents of the same number of authors, reported an identification rate of 94%.
