摘要：Predicting gender on the foundation of handwriting investigation is a very
invoking research area. Handwriting analysis also has numerous applications. It is
useful for forensic experts to investigate classes of writers. This prediction is executed
fundamentally by two steps: feature extraction and classification. As a whole,
prediction solely depends upon the feature extraction. Distinct and most varied
features make the classification accurate. This paper describes the problem
comprehensively along with its foundation. It presents a survey of the available
methods to solve the discussed problem. A comparative analysis of the discussed
methods of feature extraction and classification along with the available databases
is also presented in this paper.
