Abstract

Writer identification is a critical aspect of document analysis and has significant implications in various domains, including forensics, authentication, and historical research. In this article, we propose a novel approach for writer identification using gradient angle histograms collected from neighboring pixels. By calculating the histogram of gradient angles from different locations of neighboring pixels, we effectively capture the writer’s unique style and nuances. Our experimental study demonstrates promising results on the two datasets BFL and CERUG, showcasing the potential of our proposed technique in improving the state-of-the-art methods in writer identification.
