Abstract :
Writer identification is important for forensic analysis, helping experts to deliberate on the authenticity of documents. The ICDAR2013 Competition on Writer Identification is part of a competition series (see also ICDAR2011 and ICFHR2012 Writer Identification Contests) which is dedicated to record recent advances in the field of writer identification for Latin scripts using established evaluation performance measures. The benchmarking dataset was created with the help of 250 writers that were asked to copy four parts of text in two Latin based languages (English and Greek). This paper describes the contest details including the evaluation measures used as well as the performance of the 12 submitted methods by 6 different groups along with a short description of each method.
