Software

Pattern Analysis Software Tools denote a set of offline applications dedicated to the automatic analysis of patterns in the research data available for the study of written artefacts. These software tools have been developed to facilitate a more efficient study of written artefacts and to allow researchers across all academic disciplines to make use of the rapid advancements in the fields of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and pattern analysis.

Hussein Mohammed has theoretically conceptualized, developed, and implemented all of the software tools listed below. Each respective software tool results from the close interdisciplinary collaboration between Hussein Mohammed and researchers from the natural sciences as well as the humanities from the CSMC and various collaborating institutes.

Handwriting Analysis Tool (HAT)

HAT3 is a software tool that can be used to analyse handwriting styles. Several different handwriting styles (scribal hands) can be analysed concurrently and sorted according to their similarity to a questioned or unknown style (query). A similarity score will be calculated for each predefined style (scribal hand) to create a relative comparison between them with respect to an unknown style.
