OSPCV: Off-line Signature Verification using Principal Component Variances

Abstract

Signature verification system is always the most sought after biometric verification system. Being a behavioral biometric feature which can always be imitated, the researcher faces a challenge in designing such a system, which has to counter intrapersonal and interpersonal variations. The paper presents a comprehensive way of off-line signature verification based on two features namely, the pixel density and the centre of gravity distance. The data processing consists of two parallel processes namely Signature training and Test signature analysis. Signature training involves extraction of features from the samples of database and Test signature analysis involves extraction of features from test signature and it’s comparison with those of trained values from database. The features are analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The proposed work provides a feasible result and a notable improvement over the existing systems
