Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to propose a method for identification of handwriting. From sample characters we obtained the “thresholding”, and then the “thinning” using an image recorder system. Individual parts of the characters were measured, and many variables were defined for each character. Since variables important in the discriminant analysis varied among subjects, the stepwise discriminant analysis turned on to be useful.
