On the 26th, the Korean National Police University announced that it had completed the patent registration of a system that determines the identity of handwriting using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. This technology was developed to compensate for the limitations of handwriting analysis in document examination, which has traditionally depended on the individual skill level and visual inspection of document examiners. The core of the system is to enhance the objectivity and reliability of examinations by quantifying and analyzing minute angles in handwriting and habitual stroke flows using AI.
The National Police University expects that this system, as an auxiliary tool to assist examiners in the field, will be used to analyze large volumes of comparative handwriting samples in a short time and provide scientific data-based grounds, thereby accelerating investigations and reinforcing the credibility of evidence in court. Yoo Seung-jin, Director of the Advanced Security Science Technology Institute at the Korean National Police University, stated, “This patent registration will serve as a milestone in which AI technology resolves difficult challenges in real policing environments,” adding, “We will focus our capabilities on education and research and development (R&D) to develop field-oriented advanced security science technologies.”
