DeepWriterID: An End-to-end Online Text-independent Writer Identification System
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
Even though we only use pen-position information in the pen-down state of the given handwriting samples, we achieved new state-of-the-art identification rates of 95.72% for Chinese text and 98.51% for ...
However, most studies on writer identification have not been satisfying because of the insufficiency of data and difficulty of designing good features under various conditions of handwritings. ...
In addition, when faced with multiple languages, the basic units differ in size (e.g., characters in Chinese and words in English), introducing further difficulties in proper segmentation. ...
