Evaluating the Tri-Script Writer Verification System Using a Handcrafted Features and Vision Transformer Learning Approach
摘要
A multi-script writer verification system poses a captivating research challenge in the fields of pattern recognition and computer vision. It entails the intricate task of authenticating the identities of writers who produce handwriting samples in various scripts. This scenario introduces complexities demanding robust techniques for accurate recognition across diverse scripts. In West Bengal, the native language is Bangla, with Hindi serving as the second language, while English finds use in official contexts. This study tackles the issue of block-level tri-script (Bangla, Hindi, and English) writer verification systems and presents promising results. The research demonstrates that a combination of handcrafted features outperforms automatically derived features, owing to limitations in the writers within the JUDVLP-TLWVdb dataset. Experimental results indicate that the SMO classifier outperforms other classifiers such as simple logistics and KNN. A novel dataset for writer verification systems using the tri-script approach is introduced, achieving a peak verification accuracy of 91.50% through a combination of Radon Transform, HOG, LBP, and LPQ features. The overall performance of the tri-script approach reaches 91.80%. Furthermore, this study employs the Vision Transformer (ViT) model for writer recognition, showcasing superior performance in comparison to ViT using tri-level block images of the page.
