Automated handwriting analysis system using principles of graphology and image processing

Graphology is an ancient science which uses different attributes of handwriting to analyze the person's personality traits. Features like the size of one's handwriting, the slant et al helps in identifying the particular trait associated with the subject. Professional handwriting analysts or Graphologists are engaged in hiring recruitments so that a suitable candidate is preferred conforming to the job requirements. In this work, we implement a system which analyses these features and gives a detailed analysis employing the principles of Graphology. Extraction of six different handwriting features has been proposed and implemented. Image Processing was used for feature extraction using MATLAB.
