Abstract

In this paper we proposed new offline signature recognition based on the three different kinds of feature extractors, wavelet, curvelet and contourlet transform. The curvature and orientation of a signature image was used as feature. We utilized Support vector machine (SVM) as a tool to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods. The comparison of the three transforms for identifying the kind of signatures showed that contourlet transform can extract better features among the proposed.
