How to improve the verification framework in order to increase the accuracy of verification process?
iii. How accurate is the framework verifies the writer of handwritten document
after enhancement process?
1.2 Research Objectives
Primarily aim of this study is to verify the author of handwritten document by using Writer Verification process. However, acquiring the individuality of handwriting is a major
issue in this study. Furthermore, individuality of handwriting is a requirement that can influence the performance of verification process in order to verify the writer. Meanwhile,
features that extracted from handwriting image will represent the individuality of handwriting. In addition, among all the features reduction process is needed to select the
best feature combination to improved the verification process. Therefore, there are two objectives suggested below in order to overcome the big issue in this study:
i. To explore the Dimension Reduction Techniques for acquiring the
individuality of handwriting. ii.
To enhance the framework of writer verification process by using Dimension Reduction.
iii. To evaluate the performances of verification process by using an improved
framework. The entire objective above intends to answer the research question that has
mentioned in previous section. Table 1.1 below will shows the relation between research objective and the research question:

Table 1.1: Relations between Research Objective and Research Question
Research Objective Research Question
To explore the Dimension reduction techniques for acquiring the individuality
of handwriting. What is the most capable Dimension
Reduction technique to be used in acquiring the individuality of handwriting?
To enhance the framework of writer verification process by using Dimension
Reduction. How to improve the verification
framework in order to increase the accuracy of verification process?
To evaluate the performances of verification process by using an improved
framework. How accurate is the framework verifies the
writer of handwritten document after enhancement process?
1.3 Research Hypothesis
The hypothesis of this study is: “The proposed new frameworks by inserting Dimension Reduction techniques into previous verification framework will be able to
acquire the individuality of handwriting by reducing the dimension of the features and improving the classification performance of Writer Verification.”
