STUDY OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER IN INTERSECTING PRINTED AND PEN STROKES WITH THE HELP OF CHROMATICITY DIAGRAM

Writing cross stroke examination is one of the difficult and challenging problem in forensic document examination. In this work, we tried to find sequence of order in crossing printed and pen strokes. The study mainly deals with application of chromaticity diagram generated by Video Spectral Comparator (VSC)-6000. Chromaticity co-ordinates are generated from three different points of first, second and cross strokes. When two strokes cross each other, then surface on point of intersection corresponds to second stroke. So, we have started this work with the assumption that chromaticity co-ordinate (x,y) of the crossing stroke should be similar to that of second stroke. We perform our experiment in both homogeneous and heterogeneous crossing strokes. We repeat the same experiment five times by preparing different samples each time to establish more valid conclusion but we get positive and conclusive results only in the case of heterogeneous crossing strokes where printed stroke is above the pen strokes.
