Description The present study entitled “Establishment of Genuineness of Handwriting/Signature
based on sequence of strokes & other individual characters” was conducted in the
Department of Forensic Science (SHIATS, Allahabad) for the preparation of samples to
analyze the samples of Writings/Signatures.
The verification of handwritten signatures is one of the oldest and the most popular
biometric authentication methods in our society. A history which spans several hundred
years has ensured that it also has a wide legal acceptance all around the world. This thesis
addresses the various problems related to handwriting/signatures identification. Most of the
writer identification work is being done manually till date as a lot of context dependent
information, such as, source of documents, nature of handwriting, etc. is difficult to model
mathematically. However, they can be easily analyzed by human experts. Still, an
automatic handwriting analysis system is useful as it can remove subjectivity from the
process of hand- writing identification and can be used for expert advice in various court
cases.
The present study carried out at the school of forensic science, SHIATS, Allahabad, deals
with signature samples, collected for Verification on the basis of strokes and other
characteristics.. In the present study an attempt is made to provide an effective method of
identification of the imitated signature on the basis of their sequence of strokes are as one
of the most important feature, for the verification of a genuine signature, and none of the
other dynamic information can be recovered without the strokes. This work is focused on
the recovery of stroke and other characteristics like slant, alignment, vertical height,
horizontal length, no of pen-down and cursiveness.
Handwriting is neuromuscular co-ordination which is made up of various elements, some
of these elements can be seen easily and some of them are inconspicuous but very
significant. Handwriting has the quality of roundness, smoothness, legibility or speed.
Handwriting is identified by a study and comparison of its quality, elements, features,
characteristics. All these various consequences of handwriting vary greatly as evidence of
identity or difference. These characteristics may be changed due to many reasons, which
are writing materials, temporary physical or physiological deviations, natural variation,
age etc.
In the present study handwriting samples of different persons are examined, for the
variation in handwriting, their types and reasons for their deviation beyond the range of
variation is described on the basis of experimental results observed.
