Automatic Extraction of Signatures from Bank Cheques and Other Documents
نویسندگان
چکیده
An innovative approach for extracting signatures from bank cheque images and other documents is proposed based on the integration of the crop method with the sliding window technique. The idea is to estimate the approximate area in which the signature lies using the sliding window technique. In this approach, a window of adaptable height and width is moved over the image; one pixel at a time and the density of pixels within the window is calculated. This density is then used to find the entropy, which in turn helps fit the box that can segment the signature. The signatures thus extracted are then fed to a known fuzzy based off-line signature verification and forgery detection system. The proposed method has been applied with almost 100% success on several bank cheques from India, Malaysia and Australia. Signature extraction has also been shown on two typical types of documents which have varied and noisy backgrounds.

Signature verification is most commonly used as an authorization tool from the beginning till now. Many people uses bank cheques for most of their transactions. Although banks are computerized, but still verification process of signature in cheques is done manually which consumes time and even misleads sometimes. Signatures verification process can be done online or off-line depending upon the ...
متن کاملOff-Line Signature Verification: A Comparison between Human and Machine Performance
When a large number of documents, e.g. bank cheques, have to be authenticated in a limited time, the manual verification of, say the authors’ signatures, is often unrealistic. This led to the development of a wide range of automatic off-line signature verification systems. However, the value of such a system is rarely demonstrated by conducting a subjective test. We recently developed a novel o...

With the rapid increase in the volume of Big data of this digital era, fax documents, invoices, receipts, etc are traditionally subjected to compression for the efficiency of data storage and transfer.

متن کاملAutomatic Table Detection in Document Images
In this paper, we propose a novel technique for automatic table detection in document images. Lines and tables are among the most frequent graphic, non-textual entities in documents and their detection is directly related to the OCR performance as well as to the document layout description. We propose a workflow for table detection that comprises three distinct steps: (i) image pre-processing; ...
