Signature Verification Approach using Fusion of Hybrid Texture Features
In this paper, a writer-dependent signature verification method is proposed.
Two different types of texture features, namely Wavelet and Local Quantized
Patterns (LQP) features, are employed to extract two kinds of transform and
statistical based information from signature images. For each writer two
separate one-class support vector machines (SVMs) corresponding to each set of
LQP and Wavelet features are trained to obtain two different authenticity
scores for a given signature. Finally, a score level classifier fusion method
is used to integrate the scores obtained from the two one-class SVMs to achieve
the verification score. In the proposed method only genuine signatures are used
to train the one-class SVMs. The proposed signature verification method has
been tested using four different publicly available datasets and the results
demonstrate the generality of the proposed method. The proposed system
outperforms other existing systems in the literature.Comment: Neural Computing and Applicatio
An Efficient Hidden Markov Model for Offline Handwritten Numeral Recognition
Traditionally, the performance of ocr algorithms and systems is based on the
recognition of isolated characters. When a system classifies an individual
character, its output is typically a character label or a reject marker that
corresponds to an unrecognized character. By comparing output labels with the
correct labels, the number of correct recognition, substitution errors
misrecognized characters, and rejects unrecognized characters are determined.
Nowadays, although recognition of printed isolated characters is performed with
high accuracy, recognition of handwritten characters still remains an open
problem in the research arena. The ability to identify machine printed
characters in an automated or a semi automated manner has obvious applications
in numerous fields. Since creating an algorithm with a one hundred percent
correct recognition rate is quite probably impossible in our world of noise and
different font styles, it is important to design character recognition
algorithms with these failures in mind so that when mistakes are inevitably
made, they will at least be understandable and predictable to the person

Feature Representation for Online Signature Verification
Biometrics systems have been used in a wide range of applications and have
improved people authentication. Signature verification is one of the most
common biometric methods with techniques that employ various specifications of
a signature. Recently, deep learning has achieved great success in many fields,
such as image, sounds and text processing. In this paper, deep learning method
has been used for feature extraction and feature selection.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information
