Wavelet-based approach for writer identification in music score

Writer identification is a vibrant research field, though a lot of work has been done on writer identification on normal text, writer identification in music score sheet has not been addressed in that large scale. Here we propose a method to identify writers of music score sheets using Daubchies wavelet features along with SVM classifier. We have evaluated our proposed approach in a sub-set of CVC-MUSCIMA dataset. From the experiment on 140 score sheet images from 7 writers we obtained encouraging results.
