A deep learning approach for the comparison of handwritten documents using latent feature vectors
Forensic questioned document examiners still largely rely on visual assessments and expert judgment to determine the provenance of a handwritten document. Here, we propose a novel approach to objectively compare…
A statistical approach to aid examiners in the forensic analysis of handwriting
We develop a statistical approach to model handwriting that accommodates all styles of writing (cursive, print, connected print). The goal is to compute a posterior probability of writership of a…
