Abstract.
We propose the preliminary steps towards a protocol for forensic document examination based upon handwriting generation. We move from the observation that handwriting is a complex human movement which is acquired through a learning process based on trials and errors.
As learning proceeds, the level of automation increases, and the separation between the elementary movements the handwriting is made of becomes less crispy. Once the learning terminates, the task becomes fully automated, fluency emerges from the time superimposition of elementary movements, and the time required to accomplish the complete movement reduces.
Accordingly, the protocol aims at establishing whether or not the specimen under investigation was produced automatically.
Only when the writing modalities have been established, further investigations are carried on to establish whether the resulting shape is compatible with those produced by the subject whose handwriting is questioned.........[richiedi l'articolo completo]
