Writer identification using oriented Basic Image Features and the Delta encoding

作者:

Highlights:

• We present a full description of the oBIF Column method as applied to writer identification.

• We evaluate the oBIF Column encoding scheme using the IAM dataset, producing a performance of 99% for 301 writers.

• We present the Delta encoding, an addition to the oBIF Column scheme.

• We evaluate the Delta encoding using two leading international competitions, gaining first place in both.

• We show how our method uses different sources of information.
