Abstract :
Relatively simple methods for writer identification are presented in this work. The problems related to image acquisition, image preprocessing, feature selection and extraction as well as clustering and identification are analyzed. A couple of features is proposed towards a better discrimination result. The first feature is obtained using a morphological transformation of the word projection on the vertical axis, while the other from a local operation procedure using moments
