Forensic handwriting analysis is an important task in crime investigation. Writers of documents are sometimes unknown or disputed so it is difficult for the forensic detectives to identity of those writers. Currently, forensic professionals perform the analysis of these documents manually. Document management system for forensic document identification, verification and analysis are described. The system is designed to assist forensic document examiner with identifying and comparing Arabic handwriting and its characteristics with a graphical user interface. The same system also provides the examiner with functionalities for retrieving information about documents, region of interest, words, and writers. The system has been implemented using Oracle Database 6i. Our forensic document management system (FDMS) prompts its users with a graphical user interface (GUI) for forensic handwritten document database exploration and management.
