Abstract

Features representing information about pressure distribution from a static image of a handwritten signature are analyzed for an offline verification system. From gray-scale images, its histogram is calculated and used as"spectrum'' for calculation of pseudo-cepstral coefficients. Finally, the unique minimum-phase sequence is estimated and used as feature vector for signature verification. The optimal number of pseudo-coefficients is estimated for best system performance. Experiments were carried out using a database containing signatures from 100 individuals. The robustness of the analyzed system for simple forgeries is tested out with a LS-SVM model. For the sake of completeness, a comparison of the results obtained by the proposed approach with similar works published using pseudo-dynamic feature for offline signature verification is presented.
