Automating Stress Detection from Handwritten Documents.

Stress is a crucial problem in life, which is growing because of the fast-paced and demanding modern-life. Meanwhile, stress must be detected at early stages to prevent the negative effects on human health. Graphologist who analyze human handwriting have been able to detect stress from human handwriting. This is by extracting some features from the handwriting to detect stress level. The manual stress detection process is expensive, tedious and exhausting. This made the automation of the stress detection system important. Little research has been done on this field. In this research we will focus on automating stress detection from handwritten documents. We are working with graphologist to create a database of handwritten documents for stress detection. Later we will experiment different features to automate stress detection from the person’s handwriting.
