Verification Techniques

Handwritten signature identification and verification has become an active area of research in recent years. Handwritten signature identification systems are used for identifying the user among all users enrolled in the system while handwritten signature verification systems are used for authenticating a user by comparing a specific signature with his signature that is stored in the system. This paper presents a review for commonly used methods for pre-processing, feature extraction and classification techniques in signature identification and verification systems, in addition to a comparison between the systems implemented in the literature for identification techniques and verification techniques in online and offline systems with taking into consideration the datasets used and results for each system

Feature Extraction Technique

Although handwritten signature verification has been extensively researched, it has not achieved an optimal classification accuracy rate. Therefore, efficient and accurate signature verification techniques are required since signatures are still widely used as a means of personal verification. This research work presents efficient distance-based classification techniques as an alternative to supervised learning classification techniques (SLTs). The Local Directional Pattern (LDP) feature extraction technique was used to analyze the effect of using several different distance-based classification techniques. The classification techniques tested, are the Euclidean, Manhattan, Fractional, weighted Euclidean, weighted Manhattan, weighted fractional distances and individually optimized resampling of feature vector sizes. The best accuracy, of 90.8%, was achieved through applying a combination of the weighted fractional distances and locally optimized resampling classification techniques to the Local Directional Pattern feature extraction. These results are compared with results from literature, where the same feature extraction technique was classified with SLTs. The distance-based classification was found to produce greater accuracy than the SLTs.

Handwritten Signature

Over recent years, there has been an explosive growth of interest in the pattern recognition. For example, handwritten signature is one of human biometric that can be used in many areas in terms of access control and security. However, handwritten signature is not a uniform characteristic such as fingerprint, iris or vein. It may change to several factors; mood, environment and age. Signature Verification System (SVS) is a part of pattern recognition that can be a solution for such situation. The system can be decomposed into three stages: data acquisition and preprocessing, feature extraction and verification. This paper presents techniques for SVS that uses Freeman chain code (FCC) as data representation. In the first part of feature extraction stage, the FCC was extracted by using boundary-based style on the largest contiguous part of the signature images. The extracted FCC was divided into four, eight or sixteen equal parts. In the second part of feature extraction, six global features were calculated. Finally, verification utilized k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) to test the performance. MCYT bimodal database was used in every stage in the system. Based on our systems, the best result achieved was False Rejection Rate (FRR) 14.67%, False Acceptance Rate (FAR) 15.83% and Equal Error Rate (EER) 0.43% with shortest computation, 7.53 seconds and 47 numbers of features.

Verification Techniques

Handwritten signature verification techniques, which can facilitate user authentication and enable secure information exchange, are still important in property safety. However, on-line automatic handwritten signature verification usually requires dynamic handwritten patterns captured by a special device, such as a sensor-instrumented pen, a tablet or a smartwatch on the dominant hand. This paper presents SonarSign, an on-line handwritten signature verification system based on inaudible acoustic signals. The key insight is to use acoustic signals to capture the dynamic handwritten signature patterns for verification. Particularly, SonarSign exploits the built-in speakers and microphones of smartphones to transmit a specially designed training sequence and record the corresponding echo for channel impulse response (CIR) estimation, respectively. Based on the sensitivity of CIR to the tiny surrounding environment changes including handwritten signature actions, SonarSign designs an attentional multi-modal Siamese network for end-to-end signatures verification. First, multi-modal CIR streams are fused to extract representative signature pattern features from spatio-temporal dimensions. Then an attentional Siamese network is elaborated to verify whether the given two signatures are from the same signatory. Extensive experiments in real-world scenarios show that SonarSign can achieve accurate and robust signatures verification with an AUC (Area Under ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) Curve) of 98.02% and an EER (Equal Error Rate) of 5.79% for unseen users.

Handwritten Signature

In the field of pattern recognition, automatic handwritten signature verification is of the essence. The uniqueness of each person’s signature makes it a preferred choice of human biometrics. However, the unavoidable side-effect is that they can be misused to feign data authenticity. In this paper, we present an improved feature extraction vector for offline signature verification system by combining features of grey level occurrence matrix (GLCM) and properties of image regions. In evaluating the performance of the proposed scheme, the resultant feature vector is tested on a support vector machine (SVM) with varying kernel functions. However, to keep the parameters of the kernel functions optimized, the sequential minimal optimization (SMO) and the least square method was used. Results of the study explained that the radial basis function (RBF) coupled with SMO best support the improved featured vector proposed.

Handwritten Signature

This paper describes possible strategies for the implementation of a feature selection algorithm particularly suited to the realisation of an efficient automatic handwritten signature verification system in which an active feature vector, optimised with respect to an individual signer, is constructed during an enrollment period. A range of configurations based on transputer arrays are considered and the possible implementational approaches evaluated. The paper demonstrates how the inherent parallelism which exists within a generic model for verification can be exploited to provide an optimised general-purpose framework for verification processing.
