Abstract: Handwriting of each person is unique since each person has their own unique and different style of handwriting. Handwriting verification can be performed in two ways, dynamic and static. The dynamic verification process is the writer dependent whereas the static verification process is the writer independent procedure. The features can be spatial, structural, statistical, geometrical, graphological, and from other feature extraction techniques. In this work, we are considering the combination of multilevel feature set for writer recognition and identification purpose. A dataset of different handwriting samples collected from 100 different writers is used for this experiment. A decision tree classifier with random forest implementation is used for recognition and identification of writer with 98.2% accuracy. 
Keywords: Handwritten Document, Writer Recognition, Feature Extraction, Decision Tree Classifier.
