Shape Matrices as a Mixed Shape Factor for Off-line Signature Verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shape matrices have been used as a representation of planar shapes like industrial parts or printed characters. In this paper, we investigate the use of shape matrices as a mixed shape factor for off-line signature verification. By mixed shape factor we mean any global shape factor where the position of local measurements are take into account in the definition of a similarity measure between two representations. It was demonstrated that using a good similarity measure between two shape matrices, this shape factor is relatively well suited for the global interpretation of signature images.

متن کاملPattern spectrum as a local shape factor for off-line signature verification
A fundamental problem in the field of off-line signature verification is the lack of a pertinent shape representation or shape factor. The main difficulty in the definition of pertinent features lies in the local variability of the signature line which is closely related to the intrinsic characteristic of human beings. In this paper we proposed a new formalism for signature representation based...
متن کاملA neural network approach to off-line signature verification using directional PDF
Abstraet--A neural network approach is proposed to build the first stage of an Automatic Handwritten Signature Verification System. The directional Probability Density Function was used as a global shape factor and its discriminating power was enhanced by reducing its cardinality via filtering. Various experimental protocols were used to implement the backpropagation network (BPN) classifier. A...
متن کاملLocal Feature Based Off-line Signature Verification using Neural Network Classifiers
Signature recognition is probably the oldest biometrical identification method with a high legal acceptance. Although automated signature verification has been studied for more than 30 years this field still lacks the necessary formalization to evaluate and compare different signature verification systems. Our research aims separating the steps of signature verification and dissecting the monol...
متن کاملPersonal Authentication Using Signature Recognition
In this paper, a problem of personal authentication through the use of signature recognition is described. The methods of verification include both online (or dynamic) and off-line (static) signature verification algorithms. The dynamic methods covered, are based on the analysis of the shape, speed, stroke, pen pressure and timing information. While the static methods involve general shape reco...
