Conventional and Computational Features in Document Examination
Journal Title: Journal of Forensic Science & Criminology - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Document examination has been around for more than a century. The field of Document examination has become more diverse and requires authenticity or validation in many areas of examination which involves determination of authorship, fraud detection and personal identification. Forensic document examination branch is continuously facing challenges due to the availability of revolutionary computer methods. The conventional or traditional features used in document examination are prone to fatigue and human error owing to non-validation. Computational approaches of the Document examination formalize the conventional methods by means of precisely stated algorithms. This paper efforts to give a comparative account of conventional and computational features used in Document examination. Observable differences were seen in selected handwriting characteristics between conventional and computational methods.
