Off-Line Verification for Chinese Signatures

Signature verification is one of the important methodologies for personnel identification. Because of its wide applications to security practices quite a number of signature verification techniques associated with various features have been proposed. The features utilized in a signature verification system directly affect the performance of the system. In this paper, we review a variety of recently proposed features of signature and present two new features. Each of these features is examined to evaluate its performance for Chinese signature verification. Then we choose and combine the features that establish good verification rates. As a result, we propose an off-line Chinese signature verification system based on this combination of features. The experimental results show that the proposed system achieves a good performance in term of verification rate.
