Handwritten Signature Verification using Deep Learning
Every person has his/her own unique signature that is used mainly for the purposes of personal
identification and verification of important documents or legal transactions. There are two kinds of signature
verification: static and dynamic. Static(off-line) verification is the process of verifying an electronic or document
signature after it has been made, while dynamic(on-line) verification takes place as a person creates his/her
signature on a digital tablet or a similar device. Offline signature verification is not efficient and slow for a large
number of documents. To overcome the drawbacks of offline signature verification, we have seen a growth in
online biometric personal verification such as fingerprints, eye scan etc. In this paper we created CNN model
using python for offline signature and after training and validating, the accuracy of testing was 99.70%
Deep Adaptive Learning for Writer Identification based on Single Handwritten Word Images
There are two types of information in each handwritten word image: explicit
information which can be easily read or derived directly, such as lexical
content or word length, and implicit attributes such as the author's identity.
Whether features learned by a neural network for one task can be used for
another task remains an open question. In this paper, we present a deep
adaptive learning method for writer identification based on single-word images
using multi-task learning. An auxiliary task is added to the training process
to enforce the emergence of reusable features. Our proposed method transfers
the benefits of the learned features of a convolutional neural network from an
auxiliary task such as explicit content recognition to the main task of writer
identification in a single procedure. Specifically, we propose a new adaptive
convolutional layer to exploit the learned deep features. A multi-task neural
network with one or several adaptive convolutional layers is trained
end-to-end, to exploit robust generic features for a specific main task, i.e.,
writer identification. Three auxiliary tasks, corresponding to three explicit
attributes of handwritten word images (lexical content, word length and
character attributes), are evaluated. Experimental results on two benchmark
datasets show that the proposed deep adaptive learning method can improve the
performance of writer identification based on single-word images, compared to
non-adaptive and simple linear-adaptive approaches.Comment: Under view of Pattern Recognitio
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
