Slant is a salient feature of Western handwriting and it is considered to be an important writer-specific feature. In disguised handwriting however, slant is often modified. It was tested whether slant is indeed an important factor and it was tested whether the distorting effect of deliberate slant change can be countered by a simple shear transform. This was done in two off-line writer verification experiments in image processing conditions of slant elimination and slant correction. The experiments were performed using three features based on statistical pattern recognition, including the state-of-the-art features Fraglets and Hinge. A new public dataset was created and used, containing natural and slanted handwriting by 47 writers. A striking result is that the average natural slant value is much less important for biometric systems than is usually assumed: eliminating slant yields just a 1-5% performance loss. A second result is that the effects of deliberate slant change cannot be fully countered by a simple shear transform: it raises performance on the distorted handwriting from 53-68% to 64-90%, but this is still lower than normal operation on natural handwriting: 97-100%. Research highlights - The value of slant as a writer identification feature has been overrated. - Deliberate slant change can be partly countered by the shear transform. - Deliberate slant change introduces non-affine distortions to the handwriting. - A new dataset of deliberately slanted handwriting was introduced.
