Abstract

Off-line signature verification methods have to tackle with a number of high resolution images, therefore it is vital to use efficient image processing algorithms. This paper proposes a heuristic stroke extraction algorithm to create a compact representation of the signature whilst minimizing the loss of semantic information and the computational needs. Some issues of the algorithm are highlighted and - as far as possible - also eliminated. Finally an experimental validation of the algorithm is presented and evaluated. This algorithm could be used to refine existing signature verification methods, and also to create new ones.
