Abstract
A method for determining the authorship of a picture, wherein the method comprises at least the following steps: —transferring the picture to be examined or parts of the picture to be examined with the aid of a digitizing means, in particular a scanner, into at least one data set, —analyzing the data set(s) and determining characteristic features or parts of characteristic features, in particular dots or lines or dot or line groups or patterns, contained in the data set in digitized form, wherein the characteristic features to be determined are stored in a database, —and wherein the database includes an additional associated data set for each of the stored characteristic features.

A method for determining the authorship of a picture, wherein the method comprises at least the following steps:
- transferring the picture to be examined or parts of the picture to be examined with the aid of a digitizing means, in particular a scanner, into at least one data set,
- analyzing the data set(s) and determining characteristic features or parts of characteristic features, in particular dots or lines or dot or line groups or patterns, contained in the data set in digitized form, wherein the characteristic features to be determined are stored in a database,
- and wherein the database includes an additional associated data set for each of these stored characteristic features.
An apparatus for determining the authorship of a picture by transferring the picture into a data set by scanning, analyzing the data set in digital form to determine characteristic features in the data set, and storing the characteristic features in a database, the database having an additional associated data set for each of the stored characteristic features, characterized in that said apparatus comprises at least one digitizing means (1), preferably a scanner, a normalizing module (2), a segmenting module (3), a classifying module (4) and a database module (5).
A computer system comprising at least one data processing unit, at least one memory, at least one digitizing means (1), preferably a scanner, at least one normalizing module (2), at least one segmenting module (3), at least one classifying module (4) and a database module (5), characterized in that the data processing unit has a program installed for determining the authorship of a picture by transferring the picture into a data set by scanning, analyzing the data set in digital form to determine characteristic features in the data set and storing the characteristic features in a database, the database having an additional associated data set for each of the stored characteristic features.
A computer program including instructions, adapted for performing the method of determining the authorship of a picture by transferring the picture into a data set by scanning, analyzing the data set in digital form to determine characteristic features in the data set and storing the characteristic features in a database, the database having including an additional associated data set for each of the stored characteristic features.
A computer program product, including a computer readable medium with computer program code means, wherein after each loading of the computer program a computer is caused by the program to perform the method of determining the authorship of a picture by transferring the picture into a data set by scanning, analyzing the data set in digital form to determine characteristic features in the data set and storing the characteristic features in a database, the database having an additional associated data set for each of the stored characteristic features.
A computer program product, including a computer program on an electronic carrier signal, wherein after each loading of the computer program, a computer is caused by the program to perform the method of determining the authorship of a picture by transferring the picture into a data set by scanning, analyzing the data set in digital form to determine characteristic features in the data set and storing the characteristic features in a database, the database having an additional associated data set for each of the stored characteristic features.
