The structure of the paper comprises introduction, motivation for the work, background, sources of information, schemes, process, reported works, synthesis analysis, study of features and classifiers for writer identification, and finally the conclusion and future directions.

This paper presents a comprehensive and transparent panorama on the work done for the writer identification system on different Indic and non-Indic scripts and a widespread view towards this peculiar research area. It is a term used for the body measurements and calculations. Biometric identification is the branch of computer science that deals with identification of an individual from a group using unique identifiers such as fingerprints, retina, handwriting and signatures. It is concerned with the writing styles, feelings, perception, behavior and the brain of an individual and it is one of the neoteric applications of biometric identification. It is an exigent task because the writing style of an individual is distinct from other because of unique intrinsic characteristics and is different even if the same writer writes that text with the same pen next time.

It is the process of determining the author or writer of the text by matching it with the training database. Writer identification is a challenging move in the field of pattern recognition and reflects advanced perceptions into the handwriting research.
