Biometric applications based on handwriting

Abstract

A wide variety of biometric based techniques have been proposed but it is quite difficult to classify the approaches according to their application domains and to measure their functionality. Our intention is to classify today's applications in detail for one particular biometric scheme, handwriting. To give individual users with a specific application in mind orientation and a decision tool, we have built a new classification scheme and furthermore define major characteristics for each of the application classes as an evaluation matrix.
