Abstract
Handwriting analysis is the scientific method or way of determining or understanding or predicting the personality or behavior of a writer. Graphology or graph analysis is the scientific name of handwriting analysis. Handwriting often called as brain writing or mind writing, since it is a system of studying the frozen graphic structures which have been generated in the brain and placed on paper in a printed or cursive style. Many things can be revealed from handwriting such as anger, morality, fears, past experience, hidden talents, mental problems. Handwriting is different from person to person. People are facing various psychological problems. Teenagers also face so many mental problems. Criminals can be detected by using handwriting analysis. Counselor and mentor can also use this tool for giving advice to clients. Proposed work contains three main steps: image preprocessing, identification of handwriting features, and mapping of identified features with personality traits. Image pre-processing is the technique in which the handwriting sample is translated into a format which can be easily and efficiently processed in further steps. These steps involve noise removal, grayscale, thresholding, and image morphology. In feature identification, there is an extraction of handwriting features. Three features of handwriting are extracted that are left margin, right margin, and word spacing. Lastly, extracted features are mapped with personality using the rule-based technique. The personality of a writer with respect to three handwriting features is displayed. The proposed system can predict 90% accurate personality of the person. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2018.
