Abstract

A handwritten text was scanned and digitized. The histogram of the run-lengths of the background intensity value was recorded. It is shown that the similarity between the histograms of two samples of the same person's handwriting is greater than that between the histograms of samples of two different persons' handwriting. It is also shown how some characteristics of a handwriting can be measured quantitatively.
