TLDR
It is believed that the authentic handwriting samples provided by subjects in their own natural writing style will have smooth ink traces, while forged handwritings will have wrinkly traces, because forged handwriting is often either traced or copied slowly and is therefore more likely to appear wrinkly when scanned with a high-resolution scanner.Abstract:
We investigated the detection of handwriting forgery by both human and machine. We obtained experimental handwriting data from subjects writing samples in their natural style and writing forgeries of other subjects' handwriting. These handwriting samples were digitally scanned and stored in an image database. We investigated the ease of forging handwriting, and found that many subjects can successfully forge the handwriting of others in terms of shape and size by tracing the authentic handwriting. Our hypothesis is that the authentic handwriting samples provided by subjects in their own natural writing style will have smooth ink traces, while forged handwritings will have wrinkly traces. We believe the reason for this is that forged handwriting is often either traced or copied slowly and is therefore more likely to appear wrinkly when scanned with a high-resolution scanner. Using seven handwriting distance features, we trained an artificial neural network to achieved 89% accuracy on test samples.read more

Spoof Attacks on Gait Authentication System
TL;DR: Analysis based on FAR errors indicates that a minimal-effort impersonation attack on gait biometric does not necessarily improve the chances of an impostor being accepted, however, attackers with knowledge of their closest person in the database can be a serious threat to the authentication system.

Smartphone-Based Gait Recognition: From Authentication to Imitation

TL;DR: An Android application that uses a smartphone-based accelerometer to capture gait data continuously in the background, but only when an individual walks is developed, which indicates that mimicry does not improve chances of attackers being accepted by the gait authentication system.

Extraction and analysis of forensic document examiner features used for writer identification
TL;DR: Most of the structural micro features studied, do possess discriminative power, which justifies their use in forensic analysis of handwriting and supports the opinion that a character form is affected by its adjacent characters.

How Long Is the Coast of Britain? Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension
TL;DR: Geographical curves are so involved in their detail that their lengths are often infinite or, rather, undefinable; however, many are statistically "selfsimilar," meaning that each portion can be considered a reduced-scale image of the whole.

On measuring the distance between histograms
Sung-Hyuk Cha,Sargur N. Srihari +1 more
TL;DR: The proposed distance measure has the advantage over the traditional distance measures regarding the overlap between two distributions; it takes the similarity of the non-overlapping parts into account as well as that of overlapping parts.
