Handwritten signatures are very important in our social and legal life for verification and authentication. A signature can be a "seal of approval" only if it is done by an authorized person which is a full proof way of authentication. Even two signatures of same person can have some kind of differences that is they cannot have perfect resemblances. Their positions may vary with respect to star...

---The need to make sure that only the right people are authorized to access high-security systems has paved the way for the development of systems for automatic personal authentication. Handwritten signature verification has been identified as a main contender in the search for a secure personal verification system. Signatures in offline systems are based on the scanned image of the signature....

Features representing information of High Pressure Points from a static image of a handwritten signature are analyzed for an offline verification system. From grayscale images, a new approach for High Pressure threshold estimation is proposed. Two images, one containing the High Pressure Points extracted and other with a binary version of the original signature, are transformed to polar coordin...

The handwritten signature is widely employed and accepted as a proof of a person’s identity. In our everyday life, it is often verified manually, yet only casually. As a result, the need for automatic signature verification arises. In this paper, we propose a new approach to the writer independent verification of offline signatures. Our approach, named Signature Embedding, is based on deep metr...

A person’s signature is merely a handwritten sign that closely resembles his/her name, frequently stylized and distinctive, expresses the identity, intent, consent. Two types of verifications are present. They online verification offline verification. Generally, Offline Signature less efficient slower process compare to when come situation having larger number documents files verify with in tim...

Handwritten signature is being used in various applications on daily basis. The problem arises when someone decides to imitate our signature and steal our identity. Therefore, there is a need for adequate protection of signatures and a need for systems that can, with a great degree of certainty, identify who is the signatory. This paper presents previous work in the field of signature and write...
