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
Recent Advances in Offline Signature Identification
In recent years, biometric-based authentication systems have been widely used in many applications which require reliable identification scheme. Among others, handwritten signature is one of the most interesting biometric means, that is being considered with renewed interest. This paper presents some of the most relevant advances in the field of offline signature identification and highlights some directions for further research
