The Korea National Police University said on the 26th that it registered a "handwriting analysis system" as a patent that can precisely determine the identity of handwriting using an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm.
Until now, document handwriting was examined by relying on the examiner's proficiency and the naked eye. The Korea National Police University said it expects that analyzing quantified data such as subtle angles in handwriting and the habitual flow of strokes with an AI algorithm will improve the objectivity and reliability of handwriting examinations.
The Korea National Police University also said it expects the handwriting analysis system to analyze a vast amount of comparison samples in a short time, speeding up investigations and strengthening credibility as courtroom evidence.
The Advanced Public Safety Science and Technology Institute at the Korea National Police University said, "This patent registration will be an important milestone in solving difficult problems in the field of public safety with AI technology," adding, "We will continue to focus on developing field-centered advanced public safety science and technology."
