An intelligent system for handwriting biometric forgery detection – communication from the research project implementation

Abstract

The aim of this study is to discuss the main assumptions and goals of the “Rękopis” project, as well as to present the achieved results in the current phase of its implementation. The study is divided into two parts. The first part introduces the issue of handwriting in terms of its biometric properties and evaluates the possibilities of utilizing both classical methods and more advanced technologies in the analysis of original manuscripts to determine the technique of their application to a document surface, either manually or mechanically using a CNC device. In the second part, the applied research procedures and techniques will be presented, along with the obtained results of utilizing the characteristics of handwritten script, with particular emphasis on its biometric properties, in achieving the project goal mentioned above. Project “Rękopis” with the number DOB-SZAFIR/06/A/042/01/2020 titled “Intelligent System for Handwriting Biometric Forgery Detection” is funded by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR), within the framework of the SZAFIR program, Competition No. 1/SZAFIR/2020. The project is carried out by a consortium composed of the Central Forensic Laboratory of the Police (leader), the Criminalistics Institute of the Polish Forensic Association Ltd., and JAS Technologies Ltd. The project implementation is planned for 48 months from 2020 to 2024.
