Automatic Identification of the Writer of Ancient Greek Inscriptions, Employing Methods of Computer Engineering and Mathematics

Automatic handwriting identification/classification is a major problem in graphology analysis. In this chapter the authors present an automated writer identification system applied to ancient Greek inscriptions. The need of such a system which classifies the hands that carved the inscriptions is important, because it helps scholars DOI: 10.4018/978-1-60960-786-9.ch007 Automatic Identification of the Writer of Ancient Greek Inscriptions 213
